Roots... the basics
*A root is a morpheme at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.
*It can also be a word just by itself
*The more roots you know, the easier it is to figure out unknown words
*Not all words have roots

Example: "aster"
aster means star
in the word "asterisk" aster is located at the beginning.
in the word "disastrous," aster has been slightly changed to "astro" & appears in the middle of the world.
in the word "aster" the root can stand alone

How are Words Created?
*Combining word parts to make meaning
*Roots in English often come from Latin and Greek words
*A group of words that have the same root are called a "word family"
