6 Base Words, Prefixes, and Suffixes § Did you know that the reading strategy that you used was called using base words to determine word meaning? § A base word is the part of a word that cannot be broken down into smaller units. Some call these words root words while others call them base words. Both responses are correct. The base word gives a word its basic meaning. § Sometimes, base words have prefixes (a letter or letters added to the beginning) or a suffix (a letter or letters added to the end). When prefixes and suffixes are added to a base word, it changes the meaning of the base word. LET’S LOOK AT SOME EXAMPLES…
