The Problem

High school students need to learn thousands of new words each year. Weak readers start behind and can’t catch up.

Why ?

Teacher-built, curriculum-specific vocabulary.

What makes different?

uncovers the morphology inside the words your students need to read.

01

Your vocabulary

Teachers choose words precise to their topic and focus. The morphemes follow the content.

What is Morphology?

Words are built from meaningful parts.

Prefixes, roots and suffixes
Learn the parts and you not only
read the word but carry its meaning, too.

port
port = carry
See it in your subject

Pick a subject. Unpack a real sentence.

A simple glossary is a memorisation task. At we offer something much more.
Look at how can transform long words into meaningful concepts for students.

The Student Experience

How students learn

Students learn morphemes in short, targeted experiences that require productive engagement. Over time, students build a vast library of morphemes that has them revise regularly over weeks, terms, subjects and years.

Why Morphology Helps

One part will unlock many words.
Morphemes are the key to building knowledge.

High schools & Universities

Teachers are content experts

Subject teachers are not literacy experts, but need to build student reading and writing.

Vocabulary

is a proxy for knowledge

Grow the words a student can read, and you grow their access to the subject itself.

Transfer

to words never seen

Taught explicitly, morpheme knowledge carries over to new and unseen words.

Adolescent and Adult Learners

Built for secondary and adult learners.

The academic words that secondary and adult learners need for academic success are the ones built from Greek and Latin parts. uses an adult approach: no coins, no confetti, no cartoons.

Secondary students
Where texts become increasingly complex, dense and subject-specific.
EAL & TESOL learners
Morphemes provide a reliable path into unfamiliar academic English.
Adult & professional learners
Learning English is a skill globally sought for study, work and coding.
For Teachers

You bring the content. brings the morphology.

No morphology needed

You know your subject. That is all asks of you.

No reading science needed

The benefit of reading research without having to study it first.

Your words, your topic

Choose vocabulary precise to the unit you are teaching.

Grow your practice

offers teachers short, sharp learning modules on reading and morphology.

Close the word gap

The word gap becomes the achievement gap. closes this before it widens.

Whole-school literacy

One reliable method across every subject, drawn from your own curriculum.

Based on research

Morphological awareness is consistently cited as a critical factor in adolescent reading.
