Product Description
Word Families: Roots and Affixes - Language help
12 ROOKIE Montessori-inspired Word Study Activity Cards:
What is Word Study? It is the study of changes made over time to words in a given language. This can be achieved through looking closely at the etymology of words, their roots & affixes, synonyms & antonyms and compound words. It enriches our vocabulary and can be used as a highly effective aid to spelling!
This can be used with young, advanced learners or older students needing to brush up on their language skills!
Explore the inner workings and nuances of modern English.
This learning resource guides young linguists to:
• Study roots, suffixes & prefixes and how they modify the meaning of words
• Explore the nuances among words within different word families
• Determine the meaning of unknown words by analyzing meaningful word parts
What to do: Simply print out these pages on card stock or a thicker paper. Cut apart the activity cards along the dashed lines. Laminate for longevity. Use an uncut version as your answer key!

In the words of Dr. Montessori, "Follow the Child!"
Dr. Maria Montessori believed the only way our world would find lasting peace was through educating our children. Much of her elementary curriculum was written by her during a period of internment in India during WWII. This time period helped solidify Dr. Montessori’s belief in Peace Education.
