Etymology and Orthographic Study

Shannon and Mary host a returning guest to the Reading Teachers Lounge @MindfulTeacherRachel, who you heard in Season 5 on the Schwa episode.   In this episode, Shannon, Mary, and Rachel talk about English word histories and how they may inform how a word is spelled.   Check out this discussion to get ideas for how to share word origin stories with your reading students and help students see how important morphology is in addition to sound symbol connections.RESOURCES MENTIONED DURING THE EPISODEOnline Etymology DictionaryWhen is an O a Scribal O?Literacy Nest resource for Scribal OScribal O videoLatin Connective IWord Smarts: Van Cleave Vocabulary Connecting VowelsHistorical Layers of English: Reading RocketsIG Post from Laura.Loves.Teaching:   English Language Layer Cake Scribal O slides by Laura Watkins Real Spelling ToolboxSounds & Syllables (Jason Wade) on TwitterWord Origins by John Ayto *Amazon affiliate linkOnce Upon a Word by Jess Zafarris *Amazon affiliate linkBeneath the Surface of Words by Sue Scibetta Hegland *Amazon affiliate linkAnd Sometimes Y by Rachel *Amazon affiliate linkShort Vowel Protectors by Rachel *Amazon affiliate linkScience of Reading book list (compiled by Rachel and others)Contact Rachel on Twitter @TeachRachelSORcontact Rachel on IG @MindfulTeacherRachelcontact Rachel on TikTok @TeacherRachelSORSELour SCHWA episode with Rachel from last seasonBook a free call with us to tour our Patreon and see if it's right for you!Get Literacy Support through our PatreonCOME JOIN THE CONVERSATION!Our WebsiteFacebookInstagramOur PatreonSupport the showGet Literacy Support through our PatreonBonus Episodes access through your podcast appBonus episodes access through PatreonBuy us a coffeeGet a FREE Green Chef box using our link
