Root Revealers

Learners deconstruct complex words by identifying their prefixes, roots, and suffixes, then write concise definitions based on those parts. Examples such as unpredictable or microscope illustrate how understanding each element clarifies the entire word’s meaning. This analytical approach strengthens morphological reasoning and empowers students to decode academic and scientific vocabulary independently. The worksheet emphasizes metalinguistic awareness-understanding how language operates from the inside out-and encourages students to articulate meanings in their own words for retention and comprehension.
