95. Affixes in Action: Our A4 Framework for Teaching Affixes with Sarah Paul and Michelle Sullivan of Logos Literacy Academy
Exciting news! Sarah & Michelle share their signature A4 Framework for teaching affixes inside of Logos Literacy Academy! Rather than treating prefixes and suffixes as isolated definitions to memorize, we explore how affixes function as meaningful structural units that help words grow and change across the English writing system.
