Root WordsAll words start out with a root word.
This is the basic part of the word.
Root words are helpful for learning both the meaning and the spelling of a word.
Suffixes and prefixes can be joined to root words in order to make new words.
Examples of Roots, Prefixes and Suffixes
Root Words with both Prefixes and Suffixes
If we can identify the main part of a word, we can then usually identify both the prefix and the suffix if they are there.
This is a word - unemployment This is the root - unemployment This is the prefix - unemployment This is the suffix - unemployment
