rubric
6+ correct words with meaning = 4; 4-5 = 3; 2-3 = 2; <2 = 1
Hints
  1. Examples: re + ject = reject; pre + dict = predict; sub + scrib + e = subscribe.
  2. Sometimes the word needs an ending: re + duct + ion = reduction.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Treats every word starting with 'pre-' as having prefix ('precious' is not pre + cious).
  • Assumes root meaning translates literally to word meaning.
