    Using Root Words as Clues


    A root word is a word that can be made into new words. We make these new words by
    adding letters to the front of a root word, called a prefix. We can also make new words by
    adding letters to the end of a root word. We call these letters a suffix.
    A root word can help us understand the meaning of a word we don’t know. If we know
    what the root word means, then we have a clue to what the unknown word means.
    Example:
    Whole word Root word Meaning of root word
    disconnection connect join or attach

    For each word below, write the root word and its meaning.
    Whole word Root word Meaning of root word
