B. Explaining to Students What To Do What do we call the set of letters that we add to a word to
form a new word?
(AFFIXES)

When we added a set of letters to the beginning and end of

the word, did we form a new word?
(YES)

Aside from forming a new word, what else did you

observe while you were doing your activity earlier?
(the new word has now a different meaning)
C. Teaching/Modeling Affix – a set of letters added to the beginning or end of a
word to form a new word with a different meaning.

Two main types of Affix

1. Prefix - are word parts added to the beginning of a
 root.
Letters + word

Prefix Meaning Examples

dis-, opposite of, not disagree, disconnect,
un- unhappy, unusual,
unreal
non-, not injustice, impossible
in-, im-,
il-, ir-
re- again replay, rewind
un- not unfriendly, undo
mis- wrong or wrongly misplace, misfire
en-, to cause to encode, embrace
em-

2. Suffix - are word parts added to the end of a root.

Word + letters
Suffix Meaning Example
-ed past-tense verbs played
-ing verb form/present running
participle
-s, -es more than one books, boxes
-able, - able to be manageable, defensible
ible
-ful full of wishful, graceful
-less without loveless, homeless
-ish a certain action childish, boyish

Roots are the words from other languages that are the
origin of many English words.
Root Meaning Example
bio life biology, biography
chron time chronology, synchronize
fer carry transfer, inference
geo earth geography, geode
nom name nominate, nomenclature
tele distant telegraph, telepathy
homo same homonym,
homogeneous
therm heat thermometer,
hypothermia
zoo animal zoo, zoology
anni, year anniversary, annually,
annu, millennial
enni
loc, place location, local,
loco locomotion
port to carry portable, transport
ego self egoism
luna moon lunar, lunatic
aud to hear/listen audio, audible
form to shape transform, reform
 ject to throw inject, objection

Knowing the meanings of the most common word parts

gives the building blocks for hundreds of words in the
English language. Before using word parts, there are a few
things to consider:

1. In most cases, a word is built upon at least one root.

2. Words can have more than one prefix, root, or suffix.

a. Words can be made up of two or more roots (geo/logy).
b. Some words have two prefixes (in/sub/ordination).
c. Some words have two suffixes (beauti/ful/ly).

3. Words do not always have a prefix and a suffix.

a. Some words have neither a prefix nor a suffix (read).
b. Others have a suffix but no prefix (reading/ing).
c. Others have a prefix but no suffix (pre/read).

4. The spelling of roots may change as they are combined

with suffixes.
For example, the root rely becomes reli- when the suffix -
able is added to it. Therefore, it becomes reliable.

5. Different prefixes, roots, or suffixes may have the same

meaning.
For example, the prefixes bi-, di-, and duo- all mean
“two.”

6. Sometimes you may identify a group of letters as a

prefix or root but find that it does not carry the meaning of
that prefix or root.
For example, the letters mis in missile are part of the root
and are not the prefix
mis-, which means “wrong; bad.”

D. Guided Practice Super Hero Suffix Game

This is a super fun superhero-themed game similar to

Snakes and Ladders which is designed to build children's
suffix knowledge. In this game, they will work with
sixteen different suffixes, to be the first to reach the finish
but not without challenges on their way up.

E. Independent Practice Affixes Garden

Directions. Students will make flowers with a prefix or

suffix in the center and words using that prefix/suffix as
the petals.
