HOW DO I MAKE SENSE OF IT?

In and around MEAP over the next several days, this class is focusing on the introduction of suffixes and prefixes along with understanding context clues as a way to increase reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.

Today's class was 1/2 hour long due to MEAP and so we played an on-line game together to introduce suffixes and prefixes.

In pairs, the students went on to play a vocabulary sort game with the first set of prefix/suffix words using "PED".  The test over these words will be next Tuesday.

PEDESTRIAN, MILLIPEDE, PEDDLER, TRIPOD, PEDICURE, CENTIPEDE, QUADRUPED, PEDAL, IMPEDIMENT, BIPED
