Morphology - in it's simplest definition, is the study of words and word parts.  If you look it up, you may see it as "Morphology – the internal structure of words. Morphology is the study of the internal structure of words and forms a core part of linguistic study today. The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph- meaning 'shape, form', and -ology which means 'the study of something.' 

Hancock County teachers have done extensive training in Reading, Literacy, and Morphology. In the picture to your left, you see Rhonda Adkins, HCHS ELA teacher, doing part of the 3 part drill in Morphology, with Kirsten Wheatley (also an ELA teacher at HCHS). Teachers in Hancock County begin teaching Morphology in the second semester of second grade and continue instruction through high school. 

To the left, Ms. Hannah Maddox leads her class in the Morphology 3 Part Drill.  Students in Ms. Maddox's class are fully engaged as they have visual cues for each morpheme! These visual cues help are multisensory as students use their voice, hands, arms, eyes, ears, and in some instances their legs to make the movements or "visual cues" that go with each morpheme.
