Before Reading
Morphemic Analysis can be used before reading to improve students' comprehension.
-Introduce important roots, suffixes, and prefixes
Example: tri-, quad-, poly- in a Geometry class
-List vocabulary words with common morphemes; ask students to predict what they mean or have in common
Example: centipede, centimeter, percent, century
Performing these activities before reading can help students to better understand instructional materials.
