you’ve been trying to ‘get your head around’ the thick manual, but still haven’t!
student profiles to maintain
leave it up to the teacher decide the morpheme (ok, if you're an expert!)
require students to work it out themselves
let students guess
require the teacher to madly check students apply rules correctly
present too many morphemes at once (cognitive overload)
can contain excess jargon
contain busy, confusing lesson slides
teach the basic phonic pattern, but leave the students to 'work independently' in the higher levels of spelling, causing frustration and learning failure
have no clear structure or order, making it hard to get started when new to teaching morphology
hours of webinars to learn the platform (unsustainable with staff turnover)
require a lead staff member to set-up, implement, train and maintain use
We proudly partner with schools around the world to make high-impact morphology instruction accessible to more students.

The Matrix Word Builder is designed for students from Year 5 up, particularly older, struggling learners. Whether teaching one-on-one, in small groups, or to a whole class across Tier 1, 2, and 3, it lets you explore word morphology at three differentiated levels for each base morpheme, making it easy to tailor lessons to individual needs.
Save time on research and confidently lead engaging, high-expectation lessons that support all students. Daily review is built in with repeated practice of prefixes and suffixes for each base, along with the “Big 3” spelling rules which are revisited in every lesson.
The lesson decks are built on science of learning principles, breaking big concepts into manageable chunks to promote stacked success and boost student confidence, while gradually introducing metalanguage.
Designed for whole group/class explicit teaching, they ensure all students are exposed to the "Big 3" spelling rules.
Clear and concise, the decks cover phonology, morphology, etymology, orthography, semantics, and syntax, making sure every lesson addresses the key components of a structured literacy program.
Stop wasting time searching for scattered resources when teaching decoding, encoding, and vocabulary in your morphology program!
The printable lesson materials include three levels of reading passages, copy activities, cloze exercises, sentence prompts, and word sum tasks, providing varied and repetitive practice.
Designed with science of learning principles, the worksheets feature clear, simple layouts that reduce cognitive load, perfect for older students with no distracting images or borders. Following a gradual release model, the materials support “I do”, “we do”, “you do” teaching, slowly reducing teacher modeling as students gain independence.

English orthography is morphophonemic. Meaning sound / symbol correspondences cannot explain our
spelling system alone.
Many teachers and school systems are recognising that systematic synthetic phonics must be accompanied by
robust morphology
instruction if
we are to effectively teach students to become proficient readers and
spellers.
The three
big influences on how we spell words are...
Word history and origins play a role in how we spell words.
Meaningful units within words, called prefixes, bases and suffixes and the rules we use to join them.
The sound system and how this is represented by letters in written language (phonics).
Hayley
Specialist teacher dyslexia and online tutor, NZI liked how it has how many it was out of, because I was like, "Oh, wow! I thought I'd exhausted the list but no, it was 54. So, oh my gosh. There still must be more!" I suspect students would click, click, click and think that’s a word, too. But it reminds them that's not a word. That's what was really handy!
Kathleen
Grade 4 teacher, USIt took maybe 5-10 minutes to use, it was very user friendly! It’s a great supplement to Morpheme Magic which is the curriculum we use. It goes nicely with that and builds higher level vocabulary with my kids. It’s a great add on for what we’re doing to get their vocab and understanding of words up. This tool gives more variety of the words you can build using the same prefix, suffix and builds their vocab up before writing.
Ange
Specialist teacher and literacy co-ordinator in mainstream school, AUI’m familiar with the matrix style and I know how they’re arranged and that’s universal, so I didn’t have to learn how it works. It was straightforward and easily accessible online. I picked it up pretty much straight away. If you don’t know about morphology, you can use it as a springboard. It opens up many discussions that link in with our weekly focus. It doesn’t allow any words to be made if they are nonsense, which is important!
Libby
Online specialist tutor, USI tried it with my ten-year-old, dyslexic student. She loved it! It provides instruction and guidance even if I don’t feel confident about knowing what exactly certain suffixes are. It’s nice to have all that in one place. I would say this interactive tool would be the gap. I have looked around for other interactive tools, but I like the way that this one builds much better. I like that this one tells you whether you made a real word or not. I like the way that it encompasses the word parts, the colours, the word sums, and that it shows the number of words that are possible.
