Morphology Matrix
Type a goal, a skill, or what you’re working on today. We generate a word family matched to your student. Build the target word, or explore the matrix to discover valid words.
Paste an IEP goal, name the skill, or just describe what the student needs to practice. Any phrasing works.

How this helps (research)
Structured Word Inquiry(Bowers & Kirby, 2010) teaches students that English spelling is organized by meaning, not only by sound. Students investigate word families built from a shared base morpheme plus prefixes and suffixes — a word matrix — and learn how words are built through word sums like re + port + ed → reported.
A meta-analysis by Goodwin & Ahn (2013) found morphology instruction produces moderate gains (d = 0.32) in decoding, spelling, and vocabulary, with the strongest effects for students with reading difficulties. Each game is generated fresh from your goal using research-trained LLM prompts grounded in Apel (2014), Carlisle (2010), and Wilson Reading System multisyllabic methodology.
Typical IEP goal this targets: “Given a word family, [Student] will build and define 8 of 10 words using the target base and affixes with 80% accuracy across 3 sessions.”
