Knowledge of word structure can affect achievement in some startling ways. For example, a handful of my husband's high school students could easily give the meaning of the word different, yet had no clue what to make of the word differ. The common question, "How do they differ?" was unintelligible to them. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
