Science Prefix & Suffix Word Wall

Thank you for your interest in SCI-WORDS Science Prefixes and Root Words Word Wall Cards!

When it comes to science, vocabulary is everything. In my years of teaching (and that’s a lot!), I have found that vocabulary has to be taught with intention. Often your students will study new vocabulary, but if they have a good grasp of basic science prefixes and root words they can decode new vocabulary successfully on their own.

The prefixes list included in this set of word wall cards is by no means exhaustive. I have included prefixes, root words, and suffixes that are commonly found in the upper elementary science curriculum. The icon images included on the prefixes and root word cards are intended to:

•provide meaning associations to related words or things that the students are already familiar with or:

•help reinforce student understanding of new and unfamiliar word part meanings

•provide reinforcement for English language learners

How can you use these cards? Just like any other word wall cards! Here are some of my thoughts:

•Display on your word wall, so students have constant access to them.

•Incorporate into word work activities or prefix and root word study units.

•Use these cards throughout the year as students create a science dictionary.

•Create lists of related words that use the same prefixes and roots.

•Vocabulary Journaling activities.

•Be creative… make these cards work for you and your students!
