Prefix power round
Each morning, play a quick prefix round where kids add pre-, dis- or mis- to a base word and say the new meaning. Keep a growing list on chart paper. By the end of the month, kids are decoding big words in their chapter books on their own.
Why it works: pulling an answer out of memory makes it stick far better than rereading it, one of the strongest findings in learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
