BREAKING BARRIERS
(An English – Reading Modular Guide)
300 Minutes
Prepared and Revised by: MARIA THERESA E. PACLIBAR, MA Ed.

Did you know my dear students that the larger your vocabulary, the more successful
you’re likely to be in school and in your career? Students who understand how words are
formed by combining prefixes, suffixes, and roots tend to have larger vocabularies and better
reading comprehension. Word parts help you understand and remember the meaning of a
word.
This module explains a particular tool for increasing your vocabulary: using the parts
of a word to unlock its meaning. Come discover the fun of unlocking words!
This module is made up of three lessons:
Lesson 1 – Identifying Base Word and Root Word
Lesson 2 – Identifying Prefixes
Lesson 3 – Identifying Suffixes
After studying this module, you should be able to build new word and determine
its definition which are important in expressing meaningful ideas. Specifically, you
are expected to:
1. identify the difference between a “root word” and “base word”; 2. recognize “families” of words that are based on the same word parts; 3. add prefixes and suffixes to base words; 4. figure out the meaning of many new words;
5. expand your vocabulary and determine the meaning of unfamiliar words by developing an understanding of the word parts; and 6. create posters using base or root words and affixes.
These will encourage you to become a creative designer.

Base Forms of Words
The English language is made up of many words that are closely related. In
fact, it's possible to build new words by modifying existing words. This is done by
adding affixes to the beginning or end of the root or base word. For example,
instruct is the base for forming instruction, instructor, and reinstruct.
Root and base words are slightly different, and understanding what they are
and how to use them will help you improve your vocabulary skills.
Here's what you need to know about the similarities and differences.
Root words come from Latin or Greek words. They can
also be known as a "word root" or just a "root." While
these may have been whole words in Latin and Greek, root
words can't be used alone in English. For example, aud is
a Latin root word that has to do with hearing. This is the
root of common English words like auditorium, audio, and
audition - all of which have to do with hearing someone or something. Aud
doesn't mean anything on its own in English - that is, you can't use it as a stand-
alone word - but understanding the meaning of the root makes it easier to figure
out what the English words that use it mean.
Base words, on the other hand, are always words that can stand alone in
English. These words have meaning on their own, but they can also have
prefixes and suffixes added to them to make new words. For example, cycle is a
full word in English, but it can also be added to, to make words like bicycle and
cyclist. Cycle is the base word, or the simplest form of the word without any
prefixes or suffixes added.
Occasionally, a base word in English is the same as a Latin root. For example,
the word act stands alone in English, making it a base word. Act is also a Latin
root that comes from the Latin word actum. In this case, a root word and base
word are the same, and both can be added on to make words like action,
reaction and actual.

PREFIXES
A prefix is a letter or letters or letters placed before the root word or base of a word.
The prefix changes the meaning of the word. For example, the word unloading has the prefix
un- that means “opposite” or “not”. Unload, therefore, means opposite of load, or not
loading.
Here are more prefixes with their meaning and examples. Study them.
Prefix Meaning Examples
under-
less or less than average
undernourished
underweight underestimate
over- too much or in excess overted overweight
oversupply
ex- former ex-mayor ex-president
ex-governor
