Word parts...WHY???

Word parts...why? Why a quiz almost every week? They don't make any sense! What is the point??

The point: career and college readiness.

Knowledge of word parts, along with context clues, help to figure out the meaning of unknown words. This helps when learning how to do a new job in any career, reading academic texts, taking SATs, among other applications.

But word parts can be tough to remember.

You are right - recalling information is difficult. It requires commitment to be successful at remembering and using word parts.

• Read your novel or other text for the purpose of finding words that contain word parts of the week
