“Understanding morphology may help students broaden their vocabularies, and vocabulary growth may improve students’ understanding of morphology. This suggests that teaching morphology may work well with other types of context-rich and thoughtful vocabulary instruction to improve students’ reading and language outcomes.”  This article discusses the breaking down of different words and teaching students how to decode words in order to figure out their morphemes.  Once students have a grasp of the different parts of words, their vocabulary will be expanded.  When a child’s vocabulary is expanded, not only will it affect their progress in reading, but it will also effect their progress in all other subjects areas and areas of life.  Understanding morphology will expand your vocabulary, which will then open your horizons to a greater vocabulary where you can expand your morphology knowledge as well.  The two play off of one another.
