WORD STUDY: PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND ROOT WORDS

⭐ Grade 3 English Word Study: Prefixes, Suffixes, and Root Words | Vocabulary Skills for Kids In this lesson, Grade 3 learners will build stronger vocabulary and reading skills by learning about **prefixes, suffixes, and root words**. Children will learn that: 🔤 *Root Words* are the main words that carry meaning, such as **play, help, read, kind**, and **care**. ⬅️ *Prefixes* are word parts added to the beginning of a root word to change its meaning, such as **un-, re-, pre-, dis-**, and **mis-**. ➡️ *Suffixes* are word parts added to the end of a root word to change its meaning or form, such as **-ful, -less, -er, -ed, -ing**, and **-ly**. Learners will practice breaking words into parts, understanding how word parts change meaning, and using prefixes and suffixes to figure out unfamiliar words while reading. Examples include: *happy → unhappy* *read → reread* *care → careful* *help → helpless* *play → playing* By the end of this lesson, your child will be able to: ✅ Explain what root words, prefixes, and suffixes are ✅ Identify prefixes at the beginning of words ✅ Identify suffixes at the end of words ✅ Break words into meaningful parts ✅ Use word parts to understand new vocabulary ✅ Improve reading comprehension, spelling, and writing skills 📚 Continue learning with us on our website: 🌐 *[www.learnersgain.com](http://www.learnersgain.com)* At LearnersGain, we make English learning simple, fun, and engaging for every child.
