Re: prefixes, suffixes, and roots

["Jenny Smithson" <judgejenny@hotmail.com>]

I do a spiral study of roots each year with my 7th graders using a reference 
I bought on the Internet called "Vocabulary Vine."  I don't use it exactly 
like the directions say, but it is a good foundation and gave me neat ideas. 
 I also have the kids do a Root Scavenger Hunt each year where they search 
the world in print outside of the school building for the roots we study.  
This is an entirely out-of-class activity for homework.  We play root BINGO 
before I give a quiz.  Another reason I like this program is that it comes 
with a Root Glossary that I can photocopy for the kids to put in their 
English Binders and that it also includes many popular prefixes and 
suffixes.

I've decided I can't leave prefixes, suffixes, and roots out of my 7th gr. 
reading class any longer.  I bought a poster for the wall and have a couple 
of articles as reference.  Have any of you taught this?  Thanks for your 
suggestions.
