Vocabulary: Lyn Stone's 4-Step Process in the Study of Words

Lasting literacy impact requires more than phonics alone. This practical demonstration outlines an integrated approach combining phonics, morphology, orthography, syntax, and etymology. Lyn Stone guides participants through the Four-Step Process used in schools and in her practice to help students study words in depth. The session includes a ready-to-use resource and shows how to connect linguistic and background knowledge to support learners of all ages and abilities.
