This FreeBee (and thousands more!) is inside The Hive, plus powerful digital tools and time-saving systems.

These word base reference pages can be used as cheat sheets for teachers to refer to as they explicitly teach word bases to their 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) - for example, the word inflexible is comprised of a base (flex), prefix (in) and suffix (ible).
