Practice Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots
Use these books to practice important word parts like prefixes, suffixes and roots. In a word with 2 or more syllables, the root is the main part of the word that means something. Prefixes are word parts that can be added to the beginning to change the word. Suffixes are word parts that can be added to the ending to change the word.
Example Words: unlock, playful, reread, harmless, singer
Roll & Read: use these word lists to practice reading words with your child. You can have them roll a dice and then read one word or all the words under the number they roll. You can also play together and take turns rolling and reading words. This is also a great time to ask them questions about what the words mean and teach them new words.
