Study Notes
Decoding Words
- Phonics: A method for learning the sounds of letters and letter groups to read and pronounce words correctly.
- Letters can have multiple sounds. (e.g., 'a' can be short as in 'arm' or long as in 'face')
- Morphemes: The smallest meaningful parts of words.
- Prefixes: Added before root words to change meaning (e.g., 'in-' in 'inside', 'para-' in 'parachute')
- Root words: The basic part of the word.
- Suffixes: Added after root words to change meaning (e.g., '-om' in 'boredom')
- Decoding Example (Cycle):
- Breaking down the word "cycle" phonetically: 'si-kull'
- Decoding Example (Bicycle):
- The prefix "bi-" creates a new word.
- "Bicycle" means a vehicle with two wheels.
- Decoding Example (Cycling):
- The suffix "-ing" creates a new word meaning an action
- "Cycling" means the action of riding a bicycle.
- Decoding Example (Cyclops):
- Phonic breakdown: 'sy-kl-ops'
- Morpheme breakdown: The root word "cycle" implies "circle". The suffix "ops" refers to eyes.
- "Cyclops" represents a creature with one, round eye.
- Decoding Example (Transport):
- Phonic breakdown (helps with pronunciation).
- Morpheme breakdown: The prefix "trans-" indicates "across/through"; 'port' means 'carry'.
- "Transport" means to move something.
