Word Study

   Morphemes, Context, and the Dictionary are three helpful things to help students refine the meanings of words.

   Learning root words, prefixes, and suffixes makes it easier for students to predict a word that they do not know.

   Learning how to use context to figure out a word, or what a word means, is an important concept in learning how to read.

   The dictionary is an important tool for young readers to be able to know how to use. Looking up words that are unknown and copying the definitions are a great way to use the dictionary to learn new words.
