Prefixes and suffixes
This document discusses word parts such as prefixes, suffixes, and root words. It provides examples of common prefixes like "re-", "un-", and "mis-" and their meanings. Suffixes like "-ly", "-ness", and "-ful" are also explained. Students are instructed to identify prefixes, suffixes, and root words in words and divide words like "uncooked". Videos are shared that teach about prefixes and suffixes through songs. Students will then work in groups to create prefix, root word, and suffix cards for 12 words and try to recombine the words.
