March 5, 2012- Weekly Reminders

Weekly Spelling Words- This week's spelling words are a review from Unit 4: Science Fair. 


LESSON 1: These words have a root word plus a suffix. There are no spelling changes to add the suffix. All you do is spell the root word and add the suffix to the end.
humidity
digital
governor
LESSON 2: These have a root word plus a prefix. 
immobile
copilot
dehydrate
LESSON 3: These words are spelling changes with affixes. The spelling of the root word will change when adding an ending.
collision
supplement
ambitious
LESSON 4: These words either -ing or -ed added to the end of them. These are called inflectional endings. Most of the words have spelling changes when going from the root word to the root word with the ending. The spelling changes are mainly changing -y  to -i before adding -ed, or doubling the final consonant.
married
equipped
newfangled
LESSON 5: These words are closed compound words. These are made when 2 words that can stand alone are put together to form one word. 
blueberry
keyboard
handkerchief
