To figure out the meanings of unfamiliar words by breaking down the parts.

Apply your knowledge to make new words which contain prefixes and suffixes.

Skill Reading Standards: Foundational Skills (K–5) Phonics and Word Recognition

Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5

3. Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. a. Identify and know the meaning of the most common prefixes and derivational suffixes.

b. Decode words with common Latin suffixes.

c. Decode multisyllable words. d. Read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.

Assessment At the end of this unit, you will be given a quiz.

Essential Questions How can I figure out the meaning of a new word by breaking down the parts?

The Lessons for this Unit You will create an organizer to help you remember the definitions of prefixes, suffixes, root

words and base words.

Create flash cards with prefixes and suffixes

Review prefixes and suffixes from previous grades

Practice using new prefixes and suffixes

Real World Prefixes and suffixes are an important part of learning vocabulary.

Most standardized tests include words with prefixes and suffixes to test vocabulary.

Activities

Activity 1 – Create Organizer

Go over the following definitions and examples while

students create an interactive organizer explaining the

vocabulary words used in this unit.

Activity 2– Review and Introduction of New Prefixes and Suffixes

Note to the Teacher

Over the next four days students will review prefixes

and suffixes they were taught in the lower grades and

introduced to new prefixes and suffixes. Word cards are

available to help with this. Run off the cards onto

cardstock. Students will simply fold each card in half and

glue the inside. The prefix or suffix will be on one side of

the card and its definition will be on the reverse side.

Use these cards in the following ways:

as response cards to help the students recall the meanings

Write a base word or root word and have students hold up a prefix or suffix that may

be added to the word. Discuss meanings.

Pockets are available for storing these cards in student organizers.

Four worksheets may be printed for practice.

Third Grade Prefixes dis- non- re- un- disagree nondescript rebound unabridged

typed in three times and twelve words were added.

After copying, cut off the extra around the four sides of the organizer. Have students write key words in the definitions. Next have the students write

examples of each inside the organizer. Fold the right side on the dotted line towards the center. Fold the left side on the dotted line towards the center.

Cut on the solid lines on the right and left sides of the organizer, leaving the middle uncut.

Students will continue to add to their

organizer notebooks. After running off the prefix and suffix cards, have the

students cut the cards apart, and then

glue the definitions on the back. By doing so the cards may be used to build

words. The base and root words do not have definitions as their main purpose is

to promote word building.

Have the students try to use a prefix, base or root word, and a suffix. See how

many real words can be made.
