Exciting news! Sarah & Michelle share their signature A4 Framework for teaching affixes inside of Logos Literacy Academy! Rather than treating prefixes and suffixes as isolated definitions to memorize, we explore how affixes function as meaningful structural units that help words grow and change across the English writing system.

If you loved the BASE Framework episode, this conversation is the perfect companion episode!

Key Takeaways:

  1. Affixes, defined
  2. Why affix instruction should connect meaning, structure, spelling, grammar, and pronunciation
  3. Common practices they see in affix instruction – and how their approach differs
  4. How they intentionally embedded affix instruction within a phonics progression
