If you’re teaching the NEW Ontario Kindergarten 2026 Curriculum and want morphology instruction that is simple, explicit, and truly Kindergarten-friendly, this unit is for you.
The Sweet Little Learners Morphology Unit was built to directly cover the FDK 2026 Morphological Awareness expectations through oral-language first teaching, visual supports, and hands-on practice. You’ll teach students that words are made of meaningful parts (morphemes), and that endings and word combinations can change meaning—without overwhelming little learners.
This unit directly covers ALL NEW Ontario Kindergarten 2026 Morphology expectations:
- Words have bases (mother words) that carry meaning and can be modified with affixes
- Beginning to use suffixes: -s, -es, -ed, -ing
- Recognizing plural ending sound differences: /s/ (cats) and /z/ (dogs)
- Working orally with word families (same base word)
- Recognizing affixes in oral or written language
- Recognizing and building compound words during oral activities
- Using morphemes to support meaning (example: “dogs means more than one because it ends in -s”)
