Product Description

Make morphology practice fast, fun, and sticky with this 6 set Concentration (Memory Match) games. Aligned with Orton-Gillingham and the Science of Reading, these low-prep games are ideal for small groups, centers, intervention (RTI/MTSS), and dyslexia tutoring.

Students flip cards to find matches (e.g., prefix ↔ meaning, root ↔ definition, base+suffix ↔ word meaning), say the match aloud, and use it in a quick sentence. This will drive a smooth transfer to reading and writing.

What’s Included (6 Game Sets)

1. Derivational Suffixes – er/-or, -ness, -ment, -ion, -less, -ful, -ly, -ist, -ity, -able, -ible
2. Inflectional Suffixes – -ing, -s, -es, -ed, -en, -er (comparative adj.), -est, -er (shows the person or thing that has become), -ing, -ed
3. Prefixes – -un, re-, in-/im-/-il-/ir-, dis-, en-/em-, non-, over-, mis-, sub-, pre-, de-, inter-
4. Latin Roots (2 sets) – dict, port, scrib/script, ject, spec/spi/spect, tract, form, rupt, struct, cred, aud, vis/vid, voc/voke, mit/miss, fer, cede/ceed/cess, mort, bene/bon, pend/pens, duct/duce
5. Greek Forms – phon, photo, graph/gram, tele, auto, geo, micro, meter/metr, chron, bio

Each set includes:

• Matching card pairs (term ↔ meaning or base+affix ↔ derived word/meaning)

How to Play (Concentration / Memory Match)

1. Shuffle and lay cards face down in a grid.
2. Players flip two cards. If they match (e.g., tele ↔ far or tract ↔ pull/drag), keep the pair and explain the meaning aloud.
3. Use the word/affix in a quick spoken sentence (or write it on the recording sheet).
4. Most matches wins.

Why It Works

• Marries morphology (meaning) with orthography (spelling patterns) and phonology (pronunciation) for deeper word knowledge.
• Provides repeated retrieval and immediate feedback in a playful format.
• Strengthens decoding, spelling, and vocabulary—and boosts content-area reading.

Perfect For

• Orton-Gillingham lessons & Structured Literacy classrooms
• Word study centers, small groups, intervention blocks
• Dyslexia tutoring, RTI/MTSS Tier 2–3
• Early finishers, sub plans, home practice

Printing & Prep
