Prefixes, roots and suffixes

The Grade 4 students and I have been working with Marcelle exploring Prefixes, roots and suffixes.
We are practicing exploring the meaning and spelling of unknown words by considering the Prefix, root or suffix.

Ms Marcelle described the students as 'word scientists'.

  • wondering about the parts of words.
  • thinking of the meaning of root words and prefixes.
  • investigating when they are unsure of the meaning of a word.

Here are the links to two short videos explaining the parts of words.
