This is a fun root word investigation.
Cut out minibook and with
book facing toward you, fold in
right side first (or endings) and
then fold over left side (or beginning of the words). Crease
well. Then write.
Your student can see the faint
lines from the other side of the
page to use as a guide to write
the word each beginning and
ending part makes. Fold flap
over to cover.
NOTE: Do NOT pint both pages. There is a picture on the second page for your reference.
Answer key. Words made by joining
the two parts.
autograph
bibliography
brevity
manuscript
deflect
chronology
activist
recognize
conjoin
See picture on next page if all
of this sounds like jibberish.
After that cut out to make 9
strips or lift tabs. Your student
will flip open beginning tab,
(left side), then ending tab
(right side) to reveal underneath the word made.
