    Prior Knowledge and NEW Instructional Content
    Prior Knowledge:
    Affixes are added to root words to form new words (e.g., prefixes, suffixes).
    Prefixes are added to the front of the root (e.g., likedislike).
    Suffixes are added to the end of the root (e.g., shortshorten).
    Homophones are words that are pronounced the same and have different meanings regardless of their spelling (e.g.,
    principle/ principal, prince/prints).
    Antonyms are opposites (e.g., off/on, fast/slow).
    Synonyms are words that have similar meanings (e.g., small, little, tiny).
