These word base slides will allow you to explicitly teach word bases to your students, which will support students when reading and spelling less-familiar words.
Morphology is a powerful teaching tool for developing vocabulary knowledge and building spelling mastery. Many words in the English language have multiple morphemes (word parts that carry meaning) -Ā for example, the word inflexible is comprised of a base (flex), prefix (in) and suffix (ible).
Over 48 different word base slides are included, with the baseĀ meaning, origin and word examples.
There is then an editable slide for each word base, where teachers or students can type in words with that base. Alternatively, delete the text boxes and write directly onto your interactive board.
