Description

Are you looking for some structured literacy morphology lessons to help your students master and apply the suffixes -er and -or? These interactive digital morphology lessons and activities can be used to supplement or strengthen ANY core literacy program or curriculum. I’ve included EVERYTHING you need to explicitly teach and practice suffixes -er and -or…whole group, small group, guided practice, and independent practice are all included!

Also included in: Mastering Morphology Growing Bundle

-er and -or are very common in English, making them so important to teach and teach WELL!

In these lessons, we review the comparative suffix -er, teach the agent suffixes -er & -or, and explore ways to differentiate when to use an -er and when to use an -or when spelling an unknown word.

**All lessons include both a PowerPoint AND Google Slides™ version.**

Perfect For:

• Whole Group Instruction – Use the interactive instructional slides for explicit whole group instruction (perfect for small group, too). Several of the instructional slides come with a printable student copy; print and pass out to ensure all students are following along! Everything you do, they will do, too!
• Small Group Instruction & Practice – Choose from over 40 BONUS animated reading and spelling slides designed specifically for additional practice in small group or the 25+ student practice sheets to provide intentional guided practice. Decodable words & sentences, PLUS a reading passage (with comprehension questions) is also included!
• Independent Practice – Use any of the skill-specific practice sheets for additional practice, as a “must-do”, or while working in small groups. With over 25 different skill-specific practice sheets, differentiation is a breeze!
