Word Building

LI:To build words from a base word using prefixes and suffixes.

This week we have been learning how words are build from a base word using suffixes and prefixes. A base word is a complete word by itself that changes when you add a prefix or suffix. Our challenge is to see how many words we could make from one base word. In this DLO the word we used was ‘excite’.

We found this activity interesting because I learned how to build the base word with prefix and suffix and made different words with different meanings.

Eg: the prefix un + the base word, excite = unexcite which means to be more than normally enthusiastic.
