Word Parts Weekly - Week 6

 

"Often, words consist of prefixes, suffixes, and roots that come from Old English, French, Latin, or Greek. By learning the meaning of a root or base, you hold the key to understanding, not just one word, but many." - @ThinkWriteLearn

Word Parts Weekly

“Ninety-seven percent of the words that students will encounter as they read will come from the 30 most commonly used prefixes, 30 most commonly used root words, and the 30 most commonly used suffixes. A strategic focus on providing students, grades kindergarten to grade 12, to curriculum-driven opportunities to learn Latin and Greek word parts will invariably build students’ vocabulary and ability to create meaning while they read.” - Dr. Donyall Dickey

While many lists of word parts (prefixes, suffixes, and root words) exist, I am using the Word Parts List curated by Dr. Donyall Dickey in his book, "The Integrated Approach to Student Achievement," for this series.
