GENERAL RESOURCES

Morphological awareness allows us to understand the meaning being conveyed to us when we speak and write. Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in languages and can be combined for complexity. For example. Jump and - ing are two morpheme that can be combined to make jumping.

MORPHOLOGICAL
AWARENESS

Words are made of three forms, sound (phoneme), meaning (morphemes) and orthography. Orthographic awareness allows us to connect the sounds of words to the letters in a word. This information permanently connects the sound and letters of a word into an instantly recognizable word. 

ORTHOGRAPHIC
AWARENESS

Phonological awareness

has to do with the sounds in spoken language without regard to the written word. The pronunciation of words is often not as it would seem based on the written word itself, which is why children may spell words phonetically

 e.g. L-Y-N rather than LION.
