What children learn in Level 15

Now you be the word builder. Find the root that holds the meaning. To say send across, the root is mit, for send.
Add a prefix for the rest of the meaning. Trans means across. Trans plus mit is transmit.
Add a suffix for the job. Able to be believed starts with cred, then i b l e. And not able to be believed adds in.
Your turn! Build the word that means send in.
