  Determine the meaning of an unknown word using frequently occurring root words and inflectional affixes (e.g. -s, -ing, - ed).

• 2.RV.1.D

  Use the context of a sentence to apply knowledge of homophones.

• 2.RV.1.F

  Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs and adjectives.

01

What Students Need to Do

Students learn new words from read-alouds, independent reading, conversations, and content lessons. They use context, roots, prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, and antonyms to determine meaning. They also compare shades of meaning and use new words in speaking and writing.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students infer a new word’s meaning from sentence clues and familiar word parts. They choose the correct homophone in context, compare similar words, and use new vocabulary accurately when speaking or writing.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may treat prefixes and suffixes as part of the root instead of noticing how they change meaning. They may choose a homophone by sound alone or assume similar verbs mean exactly the same thing.

04

How to Assess It

Give this exit ticket: “Mia unpacked her bag.” Ask students to define unpacked, underline the context clue, and explain what un- and -ed mean.

1. 01

   Sort root, prefix, and suffix cards, build words such as replayed and jumping, then explain how each word part changes meaning.

2. 02

   Discuss how stroll, walk, march, and stomp differ, then write a sentence that makes one verb the best choice.

3. 03

   Play a homophone match by pairing cards such as sea and see with sentence cards, then read each completed sentence aloud.

4. 04

   Read a weather forecast, collect five unfamiliar words, infer their meanings from context, then present a forecast using them.
