Morgan Dynamic Phonics: Based on the Science of Reading.

Instruction for beginning readers and Students with Dyslexia or other Students with slow and inefficient word reading skills. The Dynamic Roots morphology program teaches higher level reading, comprehension and vocabulary skills.

Based on phonemic awareness, phonics and morphological awareness research, and Orton-Gillingham principles.

For the last 28 years Morgan Dynamic Phonics has sold materials and trainings to thousands of teachers, parents, tutors, schools, school districts and prisons across the U.S and Canada. They have been able to help many thousands of students make great gains in reading and spelling. Feedback for Dynamic Phonics. Feedback for Dynamic Roots.

Our programs teach Structured Language (the alphabetic principle) that all people need to become good readers. They cover the whole structure of the English language from 1) phonemic awareness, to 2) simple phonics, to 3) syllable division and syllable identification, to 3) morphemes and morphological awareness.

The author: Kenneth Morgan received his Master’s in Elementary Education and the Arts from Lesley College, his Master’s in Special Education from Northeastern University and his intensive Orton-Gillingham training at the Carroll School in Lincoln, MA as well as some training in Wilson, Project Read and Alphabetic Phonics. He could not find a good program to use after his training, so he decided to create his own. He created his materials with the help and guidance of his mentor, Diana Hanbury King. She was an author, and a reading expert, par excellence, that started and ran two schools for dyslexics and won every teaching award possible, including Best Teacher of the Year.

Mr. Morgan was a SPED teacher for 33 years and has spent over 25 years studying reading research and other Orton-Gillingham based programs in order to improve his own programs.

Scores

Mr. Morgan used his programs for 15 years in his own special education classrooms. His students’ average annual reading gain scores ranged from 1.3 to 2.32 and averaged 1.62 according to the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test – Revised (Word Recognition, Word Attack, and Passage Comprehension). That’s more than one and a half years progress per year.

Mr. Morgan has presented at dozens of educational conferences, (including eight national IDA conferences), and done teacher trainings across the United States.

Mr. Morgan wrote lots of humorous and engaging reading text for his programs because he found it was the best way of keeping the attention of discouraged students and students with ADD and/or hyperactivity. It made it easier to work with students who had already experienced failure in learning to read. He found that it made reading instruction more fun for everyone.
