Description
Reading warmups are an excellent way to help students continue building their understanding and decoding of multisyllabic words. This set of reading warmup offers students’ morphology practice with a focus on creating new words using prefixes and suffixes.
What is Morphology and Why is it Important?
Morphology is the study of meaningful word parts in a language. These include roots, bases, prefixes, and suffixes.
Studying morphology in a variety of ways provides students with a strategic approach to learning AND decoding new words.
About The Reading Warmups
This set of reading warmups presents a base word to the students. The students must use the base word and different affixes to create words based on given meanings. The base words start off easier and get more complicated.
Example 1:
Base Word: play
- Add a suffix to change the meaning to someone who plays. Answer: player
- Add a prefix to change the meaning to play again. Answer: replay
- Add a suffix to change the meaning to show the base in the past tense. Answer: played
Example 2:
Base Word: locate
- Add a prefix to change the meaning to move from its proper location. Answer: dislocate
- Add a suffix to create an adverb that means to do something nearby. Answer: locally
- Add a suffix to change the meaning to a particular place. Answer: location
The purpose of these reading warmups is to:
- Provide students practice with creating new words with given bases.
- Review affixes and how they impact the meaning of words.
