2024 sees the introduction of morphology to our resource. This means that classes won’t have been taught the morphology previous to their point in the Playberry-Laser scope and sequence. We have developed morphology catch-up lessons to get them up to speed.
Morphology Catch-up lessons are 45-minute lessons that include revision of previously taught morphemes, teaching of a new morpheme, and activities for practising the new morpheme (including a connected text).
Forty-five Catch-up lessons cover morphology from Phases two to four. These lessons should be used in place of the standard morphology lesson (lesson 4) within the class’s phase. For example, if a Year Five class is working at Phase Four (but hasn’t learned any structured morphology before), they will forgo the standard morphology lesson (Lesson 4) and instead do a catch-up morphology lesson on this day.

Lessons 1-12 (12 lessons)

Lessons 1-27 (27 lessons)

Teacher’s discretion about which morphemes to teach based on the class’s needs.
Continue Catch-up morphology until caught up to the morpheme appropriate to the class’s point in the Scope and Sequence.
Absolutely! Consider your class’s needs when deciding whether to catch them up any faster.
