Word Parts Weekly - Week 14

"There are many ways to learn new vocabulary. One way is to know about the different parts of words. Sometimes they can help you guess the meaning of new words. Sometimes they can help you guess how the new words are used. Knowing more things about new words can also help you remember them." - Pomaka English

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.
