A blog that releases one reading a day for at-home practice of the reading skills that we are learning in our language arts classes.
New Site
We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

4.3. Structural Analysis of Latinate Words
Perform structural analysis on these words:
Here's a spreadsheet with common prefixes, suffixes, and roots to help you.
Steps:
inscrutable
1. Cut into meaningful chunks: in- scrut -able
2. Define the suffixes: able - "able to be"
3. Define the prefixes: in - "not"
4. Define the root: "scrut" is like "scrutinize," which means "to look at closely," so I think "scrut" means "look at closely.
5. Look up the word and evaluate your guess. "I got this one exactly right."
Try it with these words:
foretaste
germinate
interminable
interrogate
recompense
renovate
available
homicide
indispensable
transparent
illiterate
