Goodwin, Amanda; Petscher, Yaacov; Tock, Jamie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Middle school students use the information conveyed by morphemes (i.e., units of meaning such as prefixes, root words and suffixes) in different ways to support their literacy endeavours, suggesting the likelihood that morphological knowledge is multidimensional. This has important implications for assessment. Methods: The current…
