Grade 3 Reading & Writing · World 2: Word Parts Workshop · Level 17
Build-a-Word
Put prefix, root, and suffix tiles together to make a word that means what you hear (not able to be broken: unbreakable).
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 17
- Now you're a word builder! Put a prefix, a root, and a suffix together to make a word that means exactly what you want.
- Unbreakable: un means not, break is the root, and able means able to be. So unbreakable means not able to be broken!
- Start with the root word. Then add a prefix at the front, a suffix at the end, or both.
- Your turn! Build the word that means in a quick way.
- And you can take a word apart too. Tap the gaps between the parts of disagreement.
