a written copy of the track script and allowing them to read along as they listen to the
CD.
t
s
prefix
is small group of letters that
can be added to the beginning of
a word to form a new word with
a different meaning. Knowing the
meanings of certain prefixes can help
students to decode many unfamiliar
words.
Q
Some prefixes express numbers.
The
tri
in
tricycle
means “three”
(wheels), whereas the
bi
in
bicycle
means “two” (wheels).
Q
Some prefixes express time, order,
or sequence. When discussing
tests, a
pre
test is given before the
lesson is taught, and a
post
test is
given after the lesson is taught.
Q
Some prefixes express size. The
micro
in
microscopic
or
microfiber
means very “very small.”
Q
Some prefixes express
opposites. Words like
impossible
,
indescribable
,
irreplaceable
,
and
unbelievable
have opposite
meanings when the
im
,
in
,
ir
, and
un
prefixes are deleted.
Q
Some prefixes express location.
The prefix
under
in the word
underwear
tells where you wear it.
Q
Some prefixes express
togetherness. The prefix
co
in the
word
cooperate
means “operate
together.”
Q
Some prefixes express amount.
The prefix
over
, as in
overactive
,
means “too much.” The prefix
under
, as in
underweight
, means
“too little.” The prefix
multi
, as in
multiuse
, means “many.”
Model the correct use of prefixes
by using words with prefixes in
sentences, emphasizing the prefix.
Q
Choose a student who is wearing
a shoe with laces. Ask that student
