This Morphemic Awareness teaching trio is designed for students to better understand that words can be broken into parts: prefixes, bases and suffixes. Students develop a word part cheat sheet to reference throughout the decoding and construction of new words. 

These activities are designed for students to form words based on given prefixes, Latin roots, Greek roots, inflectional suffixes and derivational suffixes.
