Teaching Prefixes, Roots and Suffixes:
Choose the Right Word Parts
Teaching the high utility Greek and Latin prefixes, roots, and
suffixes is a very efficient tool to acquire academic vocabulary.
These morphological (meaning-based) word parts that form the
basis of English academic vocabulary are primarily Greek and
Latinates. Prefixes and roots carry the bulk of important word
meanings; however, some key suffixes are important, as well.
Over 50% of multi-syllabic words beyond the most frequently used
10,000 words contain a Greek or Latin word part. Since Greek and
Latinates are so common in our academic language, it makes
sense to memorize the highest frequency word parts. See the
attached list of High Frequency Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots
for reference. http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/reading/how-to-teach-prefixes-rootsand-suffixes/
Teach by Analogy
Word part clues are highly memorable because readers have frequent
exposure to and practice with the high frequency word parts. Additionally,
they are memorable because the simple to understand use of the word
part can be applied to more complex usages. For example, bi means two
in bicycle, just as it means two in bicameral or biped. Analogy is a
powerful learning aid and its application in academic vocabulary is of
paramount importance.
One of the most effective strategies for learning and practicing
word parts by analogy is to have students build upon their
previous knowledge of words that use the targeted word parts.
Building student vocabularies based upon their own prior knowledge
ensures that your example words will more likely be within their gradelevel experience, rather than arbitrarily providing examples beyond their
reading and listening experience.
After introducing the week’s word parts and their definitions (I suggest a
combination of prefixes, roots, and suffixes), ask students to brainstorm
words that they already know that use each of the word parts. Give
students two minutes to quick-write all the words that they know that use
the selected prefix, root, or suffix. Then, ask students to share their words
in class discussion. Quickly write down and define each word that clearly
uses the definition that you have provided. Ignore those words that use
the word part, but do not clearly exemplify the definition that you have
provided. Require students to write down each word that you have written
in their Vocabulary Journals. Award points for all student contributions.
Teach through Word Play
Effective vocabulary study involves practice. One of the best ways
to practice prefixes is through vocabulary games. A terrific list of
word play games with clear instructions is found in Vocabulary
Review Games.

Teach through Association
Memorization through association places learning into the long-term
memory. Connection to other word parts helps students memorize
important prefixes, roots, and suffixes.
Fifteen Power Words
These fifteen words have prefixes or roots that are part of over 15,000
words. That is as many words as most student dictionaries! Memorize
these words and the meanings of their prefixes and roots and you have
significantly improved your vocabulary.
