Vocabulary knowledge is an important foundation skill for reading across all subject areas. Because students with disabilities lag behind their peers in reading skills, there is a need for efficient and effective vocabulary interventions. Focusing on morpheme knowledge is one efficient approach to building vocabulary. This article describes an intervention package that combines several evidence-based techniques, including explicit instruction, fluency drills, self-graphing, and peer mediation, to increase morpheme knowledge.
