Subject: Word Recognition and Fluency Date: _________________________
Objective:
Students will begin to use the knowledge of roots and affixes to determine the
meaning of words, specifically focusing on prefixes.
Materials:
·
Projector
·
Teacher’s Blogsite
·
Students’ chromebooks
·
Whiteboard and markers
·
Chart paper and markers
·
Examples of words with
prefixes
·
Worksheets with
exercises on identifying prefixes

Reading passages or
storybooks containing words with prefixes
Duration: 60 minutes
Engage:
1.
Begin the lesson by
asking students if they know what a prefix is. Encourage them to share their
ideas and prior knowledge.
2.
Write a few words on the
board that contain prefixes. Ask students if they can identify the prefixes and
what they think they mean.
3.
Discuss with the class
why understanding prefixes is important for determining the meaning of words.
Explore:
1.
Present a short lesson
on prefixes, explaining what they are and how they change the meaning of words.
Use examples and visuals found on teacher’s blogsite to help students understand.
Teacher will establish that the prefixes comes before the root of the words. They
will distinguish between both.
2.
Engage students in an
interactive activity where they identify prefixes in words provided by teacher. Allow them to work
individually or in small groups.
3.
Provide worksheets with
exercises on identifying prefixes for students to complete orally and independently.
Explain:
1.
Review the answers to
the worksheet as a class, discussing any questions or misconceptions students
may have.
2.
Use the chart paper to
create a chart displaying common prefixes, their meanings, and examples of
words containing each prefix.
3.
Explain in groups and
individually what prefixes are and provide meaning for some prefixes.
Elaborate:
1.
Divide the class into
small groups and provide each group with a reading passage or storybook
containing words with prefixes.
2.
Ask the groups to
identify and underline the words with prefixes in the text. Then, have them
discuss the meanings of these words based on the prefixes.
3.
Each group presents
their findings to the class, explaining the meanings of the words they
identified and how they used the prefixes to determine these meanings.
Evaluate:
1.
Assess students'
understanding of prefixes through their participation in class discussions,
completion of worksheets, and performance in the group activity.
2.
Provide feedback to
students on their ability to identify prefixes and determine the meanings of
words using this knowledge.
3.
Encourage students to
continue practising identifying and using prefixes in their reading and writing
outside of the classroom.
Complete activities on teacher's blogsite.
Extension: For students who demonstrate a strong
understanding of prefixes, challenge them to create their own words using prefixes
and share them with the class. Additionally, they can explore how prefixes are
used in different contexts and discuss how they contribute to the meaning of
words.
