recognise and know how to use grammatical morphemes to create word families

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• building word families from common morphemes; for example, “play”, “plays”, “playing”, “played”, “playground”
• using morphemes to read words; for example, by recognising the base word in words such as “walk-ed”
