The missing literacy layer for secondary schools.
Morphed is the coherent, whole-school literacy program your secondary school has been looking for. It draws upon the science of reading and learning to unify how students learn essential vocabulary across all subjects.
comprehension = the act of grasping fully
Learn the parts, and the whole word opens up.

Tap an underlined word to see it break into morphemes.
Teachers start from the vocabulary of their own subject and unit. Morphed verifies each word against its morpheme database, so the parts students learn are accurate and consistent across the school.
From there it builds the morphology teaching and a matching reading task — no literacy expertise required from the subject teacher.
Teachers choose the words. Students learn the parts.
This is the leverage of morphology: learn one meaningful part, and significant numbers of words open up across every subject.
