READING
1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary Development (Grade Five) 

Students use their knowledge of word origins and word relationships, as well as historical and literary context clues, to determine the meaning of specialized vocabulary and to understand the precise meaning of grade-level-appropriate words. 

Word Recognition 

1.2 Use word origins to determine the meaning of unknown words. 

1.4 Know abstract, derived roots and affixes from Greek and Latin and use this knowledge to analyze the meaning of complex words. (e.g.,contoversial) 
*Note: The vocabulary and concept development standards at this level require students to understand and explain words, including using figurative and metaphorical words in context and abstract roots and affixes derived from Greek and Latin to analyze the meaning of complex words.

Instructional Objectives

  1. After completing a word sort the students will be able to determine the meaning of the words by using their root or base word and then adding its parts to be able to identify the whole meaning of the word. 
  2. Students will be able to make a direct correlation on how words grow from base words and word roots.  
  3. After participating and building a word tree,  using prior knowledge, students will see a relationship in words and word meanings. 
  4. Use "Root Word Jeopardy" as an effective extension for student exploration of root word meaning. It also extends students' understanding of how Root and Base words function within words.
