In the Garden: Word Building with Prefixes and Suffixes

(4) K-3 Word Building series. Organized around kid-friendly themes, this series provides a basic introduction to using and understanding words with prefixes and suffixes; forms of featured base words are used in simple sentences and then in a poem. Sidebars provide affix meanings, additional (sometimes obscure) forms of the base word, and occasional spelling rules. Cheesy staged photos enact the text. "Match it up!" assessments are appended. Glos. Review covers these Word Building titles: At the Party, At School, Caring for Pets, and In the Garden.
