Lesson 19: How Morphlogy Helps Spelling Flashcards
How does knowing prefixes help with spelling?
Knowing prefixes helps because they always follow the same pattern, like ‘re-‘ in ‘rewrite’ and ‘redo.’
How does knowing suffixes help with spelling?
Knowing suffixes helps because they follow rules, like ‘-ly’ turning ‘quick’ into ‘quickly.’
Why do some words change spelling when adding a suffix?
Some words need spelling changes when adding a suffix, like ‘run’ → ‘running.’
What happens when you add ‘-ed’ to a word that ends in ‘e’?
When you add ‘-ed’ to a word ending in ‘e,’ drop the ‘e’ first, like ‘love’ → ‘loved.’
What happens when you add ‘-ing’ to a word that ends in ‘e’?
When you add ‘-ing’ to a word ending in ‘e,’ drop the ‘e’ first, like ‘make’ → ‘making.’
Why do some words double their final letter before adding a suffix?
Words double their last letter before adding a suffix if they have a short vowel, like ‘hop’ → ‘hopping.’
How does knowing root words help with spelling?
Knowing root words helps because many words are built from the same base, like ‘act’ in ‘action’ and ‘react.’
Why does ‘happiness’ change from ‘happy’?
‘Happiness’ drops the ‘y’ from ‘happy’ and replaces it with ‘i’ before adding ‘-ness.’
Why does ‘runner’ have two ‘n’s but ‘jumper’ does not?
‘Runner’ has two ‘n’s because ‘run’ is a short vowel word, but ‘jumper’ does not need doubling.

Breaking words into morphemes helps you recognize patterns and spell them correctly, like ‘un-‘ + ‘kind’ = ‘unkind.’
