In this story, students will learn about the structure and formation of words through roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The story introduces them to root words, which can stand alone and form the basis of word families. By adding prefixes (at the beginning) and suffixes (at the end), students will see how words can change in meaning, such as with the examples "use," "useless," "misuse," and "useable." They'll understand that prefixes like "un-" or "pre-" and suffixes like "-ful" or "-ing" modify root words to create new ones. Through examples like "tall," "taller," and "tallest," students learn about comparative and superlative forms, while "happiness" and "unhappy" teach how affixes can change meanings entirely. This exploration helps expand their vocabulary and comprehension by empowering them to decode unfamiliar words using word parts.
