Steps for using the morphing spelling rule
matrix and writing sheet.
1. Say and write the root word (single or multi-syllable words).
2. Look at the last letter of the word. Does it end with a vowel or a consonant?
3. If it ends with a vowel, use the four columns under Vowel Ending:
1. Choose the correct vowel ending column based on the word’s ending.
2. Use the intersection of the rule column and the morphing type column
and write the morphed word.
4. If it ends with a consonant, use one of the three columns under Consonant
Ending:
1. If the word ending matches the Hissing column, use the intersection of the
rule column and the morphing type column and write the morphed word.
2. Otherwise, identify the length of the rime.
Find the first vowel. Underline it and the rest of the word. Count the letters
that are underlined. Choose the rime length column.
3. Use the intersection of the rule column and the morphing type column
and write the morphed word.
Four Types
of
Vocabulary
In order for the student to morph a root word, the resulting words must be in
their listening or speaking vocabulary. You may need to prompt:
I run to school. She xxx (runs) to school.
I like to run to school. I am xxx (running) to school.
I run fast. I am a fast xxx (runner.)
I run to school every day. Yesterday I xxx (ran) to school.
