Prefixes, Suffixes and Greek and Latin Roots: Build Word Meaning from the Parts
By Micah's Learning Resources
Break "indestructible" into three pieces and a student can define a word they have never seen before. That is the skill this interactive digital activity builds, one part at a time, across four modes that share a single set of 24 word parts. What's Included: - 24 cards, one per part, each giving the meaning, a real word that uses it, and a tip for the mix-up that part causes - un-, dis-, non-, in- and im-, bi-, tri-, mono-, re-, pre-, mis- - -tion, -ness, -ment, -ity, -able and -ible, -ful, -less, -ify, -ize - bio, geo, tele, scrib and script, struct - 8 levels and 160 words, moving from negation prefixes and number prefixes through noun-forming, adjective-forming and verb-forming suffixes, then Greek and Latin roots, and finishing on a mixed round where all the categories appear at once - 30 questions running from "what does this prefix mean" up to building a word to fit a given definition, each answer explained on the spot - 5 proofreading stories (The New Kid at School, The Lighthouse Keeper, The Robot Chef, The Science Fair Disaster, Camping Under the Stars) containing word-part mistakes for students to find and click to fix - Four dots at the top of the screen that fill in as each mode is completed Best For: Vocabulary and word study units, morphology instruction, reading intervention, science and social studies vocabulary support, and sub plans. Grades 4-8. How to Use: Download the single HTML file and open it in any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari). N
