Teaching the New Frameworks 4-8 Competency One Word Recognition and Vocabulary April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 1 Competency One The student will use word recognition and vocabulary (word meaning) skills to communicate. April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 2 Progression of Skills K 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Word Recognition Word Study Vocabulary Development April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 3 Scope and Sequence • While competencies for grades K-8 remain identical, objectives require an extension of knowledge and broader, deeper application of skills. • Each competency and objective assumes the student has mastered the competencies and objectives in the previous grades. New skills and objectives are bold-faced throughout the document; however, teachers should review previously taught skills and objectives with a focus on increasing complexity. State level assessments may reflect skills and objectives covered in Kindergarten through Grade Eight. April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 4 Fourth – Eighth Grade Word Recognition • Do we see objectives for this? • By the end of third grade most students should have moved from working on word recognition skills to word study skills. • Interventions for students who have not mastered word recognition skills should be developed based on competencies and objectives for Kindergarten through Grade Three.

April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 10 Structural Analysis - Affixes • Suffix – A unit of one or more letters added to the end of a root that affects its meaning or grammatical function. Suffixes are of two kinds: inflectional and derivational. • Prefix – A unit of one or more letters placed before a root to form a word with a different meaning than the root. April 2007 Copyright © 2007 Mississippi Department of Education 11 Structural Analysis - Suffixes • Inflectional suffix – A unit of one or more letters added to the end of a root to form a word that retains the inherent meaning of the root but alters its grammatical function: changes its number, gender, tense, or voice; or indicates possession or comparison. • Derivational suffix – A unit of one or more letters added to the end of a root to form a word with a different meaning than the root.
