Rewrite Adventures

Students read a short story containing bolded root-based words, then rewrite the passage using new words formed from the same roots but with different prefixes or suffixes. They must ensure each replacement fits meaningfully in the sentence, reinforcing morphological flexibility and contextual understanding. This activity strengthens vocabulary application, deepens comprehension of how word families work, and enhances revision skills. By transforming the passage, students gain mastery in using roots to create accurate variations of related words.
