How Does Spelling Represent Meaning in English?
Some linguists have called written English an almost ideal system for representing both sound and meaning. Morphemes (meaningful parts of words) are often spelled consistently even though they are not spelled phonetically. In this webinar, we will examine:

• how words are built from morphemes in each historical layer of English (Anglo-Saxon, French/Latin, and Greek),  
• how this information can help students understand, identify, and spell words, and 
• how Spellography builds understanding and use of morphology
