Roots & Rules: 어휘 및 철자 필수 사항

In this class, readers at a late 1st to early 3rd grade reading level will learn how to study words closely. In each class, we will examine at least one prefix or suffix. We will apply these prefixes and/or suffixes to common base words, define, and  explore the meaning of the new words we create. We will examine parts of speech as they relate to these new words. In addition, we will examine related spelling rules and practice writing the new words while applying spelling rules.

Students should be prepared each week with a white board and marker (or paper and marker—pencil is difficult to see over zoom).
