ACELA1526
Understand how to use knowledge of known words, word origins including some Latin and Greek roots, base words, prefixes, suffixes, letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words including technical words
Elaborations
- using a dictionary to explore and use knowledge of word origins, including some Greek roots, to spell words. For example, the Greek roots: âathâ meaning âcontestâ or âoutstanding skillâ, âpentâ meaning the number five, and âdecâ meaning the number ten, inform the spelling and meaning of the words âathleteâ, âdecathlonâ and âpentathlonâ (Skills: Literacy)
- applying accumulated knowledge of a wide range of letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words, for example âvacuumâ, âyachtâ, âratioâ and âsynthesisâ (Skills: Literacy)
- expanding knowledge of prefixes and suffixes and exploring meaning relationships between words for example âdisappearanceâ, âsubmarineâ, âsubterraneanâ, âpoisonousâ and ânervousâ (Skills: Literacy)
- applying accumulated knowledge of a wide range of letter patterns and spelling generalisations to spell new words, for example knowing how and why these words are spelt as follows: âreliabilityâ, âhandkerchiefâ âreceiveâ, âlolliesâ, âtrolleysâ, âclimbingâ, âdesignedâ and âemergencyâ (Skills: Literacy)
- spelling technical words by applying morphemic knowledge, for example âmetaphoricalâ, âbiologyâ and âbiodegradableâ (Skills: Literacy)
- learning about words from other languages, for example âumbrellaâ comes from the Italian word ombrello, and the word for âyabbyâ is derived from the Aboriginal word âyabijâ (Skills: Literacy)
