 LC: To build new words from known morphemes.

 

 

Prefixes: un-, re-, mis-, pre-, dis-
Root Words: write, read, tidy, pack, load

Match the prefix to a root word to create real words:

e.g. rewrite.

 

Morpheme:

 

• A root word is the base word that carries the main meaning.

• Prefixes go at the beginning and suffixes go at the end.

• We can “build” new words by adding morphemes we already know.

• Example: Take the root word “happy.”

  
   “What new words can we build using what we already know?”

   

   

  • un + happy → unhappy

  • happy + ness → happiness

  • happy + ly → happily

  • un + happy + ness → unhappiness.
