| Summary: | We turn now to teaching children about morphemes, and we shall focus first on spelling. Our main aim in this chapter will be to show you that it is quite possible to teach children about spelling principles which are based on morphemes and which no one would otherwise tell them about at school. We shall try to convince you that this sort of teaching is relatively easy to do, that it is great fun for children, and that it is highly effective: Children are able to learn morphemic spelling principles quickly, and by and large they remember what they learn long after they have been taught about it.
