Months of Morphemes: A Theme-Based Cycles Approach

Months of Morphemes is a language intervention program designed for educators to improve the grammatical morpheme skills of young children. There are three one-month cycles. Each cycle uses a different theme (water, animals, and food) and is arranged from easier to more difficult activities that provide decreasing levels of educator support. Months of Morphemes targets the following morphemes:

• Regular third-person singular
• Irregular past tense
• Regular past tense
• Copula be
• Regular plurals
• Possessives
• Pronouns
• Auxiliary be

This program also includes complete lesson plans with sample scripts. Each lesson plan includes auditory awareness, focused stimulation, and elicited production activities.
