Teachers can help students grasp abstract concepts through well-known, less abstract, related derivatives like <i>rays</i> of the sun and <i>radiator</i>. As you say, all content area teachers can do this.<br /><br />PS...I just checked etymonline and the root of <i>radial</i> is -radius-, which is Latin for 'Susan M.

As a middle school Art teacher, I find that student have a hard time understanding the concept of radial balance. The best way for me to get the concept across is through morphology. We discuss radial tires, radiators, radiation from the sun, any word related radial.<br />Thank you for varifying that this is a soundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115493794020921973.post-75120329404028283362010-02-02T03:44:39.455-08:002010-02-02T03:44:39.455-08:00Welcome back, PG!

Yes, as you said, recent research does seem to indicate that instruction in morphology appears to help children and adults overcome reading difficulties, including dyslexia. This finding has so much potential!<br /><br /> Pete, perhaps some day you will write a blog entry about your research in this area?Susan M.

I like the idea of using the word sum process PORT + AGE -> PORTAGE, as this will help learners connect orthography to morphology and vocabulary. Further, the word sum should result in a greater willingness to use the new word in written sentences. Susan M.
