Today Ms Marcelle and I continued our discussions with the class abut spelling and how parts of the words help us understand their meaning.
We watched an explanation by Gina Cooke and learned that ...
- parts of words make sense
- many words can be brojen into two or three parts
- we can construct ew words by putting two words together
- a word has many layers
- most words have a structure
- understanding the structure of a word helps you work out its meaning
- the word onion comes from the word one = one bulb
Making sense of spelling - Gina Cooke
Students created lists of words starting with re and wrote a hypothesis about how re changes another word. RE means to do something again.
Examples: recycle, return, rewrite, replay.
Students also created lists of words that ended in able and wrote a hypothesis about how able changes a word. many words with ABLE at the end mean something you can do.
Examples: renewable, respectable, doable, playable, testable.
We will continue to explore how words are created this week.
