Beginner Level
Each week, we will work with a different base word and its prefixes and suffixes to build as many words as we can from that word family. Students will have guided practice in building words together. As a class, we will share and discuss which words we build as we go. This word building and discussion will help students to practice and develop a variety of skills including: 1. The idea that words come in families linked by a common base. 2. That we can build new words by adding prefixes and suffixes to a base. 3. The impact of prefixes and suffixes on the meaning of the base (𝘥𝘰 vs. 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘰 vs. 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘰, do vs. done) 4. The possible spelling impacts of adding suffixes to the base, including when to drop a silent 𝘦 and when to double a final consonant. 5. That the meaning of the base will be carried into all the new words that are built from it (𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦/𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴) 6. An understanding that spelling patterns and meaning are retained within a word family even when pronunciation shifts. (𝘢𝘤𝘵/𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭/𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺, go/gone) This is an ongoing class that meets weekly. Content does not build and learners are welcome to join the class at any time! I will always make sure that new learners understand what to do. Examples of some of the bases we will build with each week are: use, give, big, begin, do, hop, run, go, act.
Learning Goals
Students will build their decoding skills at the same time as developing a strong understanding of how English morphology works.
Other Details
Pre-Requisites
Learners should have some basic phonics and be able to decode most 1-syllable words. It's helpful but not necessary if they have some knowledge of prefixes and suffixes as well, and know the difference between vowels and consonants.
Supply List
It is recommended that learners have pencil and paper or a whiteboard and marker with them to write the word sums we build as we go.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
