Student Actions
Teacher Actions
  • Students discern the difference between a base word, root word, and affix.

  • Students use word parts (affixes, Latin roots, stems) to define new words.

  • Students apply knowledge of common Latin roots and affixes to determine the meaning of new words.

  • Students apply the skill of breaking down words into parts (i.e., affixes and Latin roots, stems) in order to understand each parts’ contribution to the meaning.

 

  • Teachers explain the meanings of Latin roots, affixes, and stems. 

  • Teachers model how to use word parts and provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge of common Latin roots, affixes, and stems to determine the meanings of unknown words.

  • Teachers monitor and provide opportunities for students to receive feedback as they define new words.

  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to engage in applying their knowledge of word parts and check the depth of knowledge beyond memorization. 

  • Teachers provide opportunities for students to form connections between word parts and domain-specific (content area) vocabulary.  

Recommendations
Key Terms & Related Objectives

When students struggle to use word parts to determine meaning while reading, teachers can….

  • provide students the opportunity to create and maintain vocabulary notebooks, journals, or banks. 

  • provide anchor charts.

  • have students generate their own examples or complete a quick draw of an example.

  • have students discern between examples and non-examples.

 

  • Affix:  a morpheme or meaningful part of a word attached before or after a root to modify its meaning.

  • Root:  a bound morpheme, usually of Latin origin, that cannot stand alone but is used to form a family of words with related mean

  • Stem:  the base form of a word, also called the root word. Examples of a stem (or root word): jump, walk, run.

  • 4.4.R.1:  Relationships among words
