Description
Use knowledge of common inflections and affixes (-ed, -s, un-, -er) as clues to the meaning of unknown words; understand how the prefix un- changes meaning
Mastery Evidence
- Recognise that -ed signals past tense (e.g. 'jumped' = already happened)
- Explain how un- makes a word mean the opposite (e.g. 'unhappy' = not happy)
- Use word parts to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word
Assessment Prompt
If your child sees an unfamiliar word like "unhelpful" or "jumped," can they use the beginning or ending of the word to work out what it means?
