Roots, prefixes, and suffixes: Increasing vocabulary for GED Success

(0)
In this lesson, students review the following word parts in order to increase their vocabulary knowledge: cred, circum, fract, mal, centi, phob, chron, and centi. This packet begins with a general lesson on breaking apart words. Next, students are asked to try to define some words that have the word roots as they are introduced. Then, they are asked to draw pictures of the definitions to help them remember them. After that, they are given a long list of words that use their new vocabulary and challenged to see how many words they can use to write a paragraph. The fifth activity asks learners to make a word search with their new word list for a classmate to solve, followed by a color by code, word art, and a quiz to check retention. Supports Common Core and Reading Foundational Standards. No instructional lesson plan needed. Simply print and teach! This is a great activity for introducing or reviewing base words, prefixes and suffixes and an excellent resource for writing practice since it asks learners to apply their knowledge by writing sentences with new words. Ideal for guided practice, independent practice, morning work, homework, intervention, Special Education, Adult Education, and enrichment. Also great as a summer review resource. Answer keys included! Note: This resource was created with my GED students in mind since studying word parts helps them become better test takers and reduces test anxiety. Scaffolding makes this lesson easily adaptable to many levels of learners. Finally, the best part is that this packet is fun! It has enough variety to keep students engaged, and by using such variation, it is a whole brain activity! Be on the look out for more lessons to come! Total Pages 16 pages
