understand how to apply knowledge of common base words, prefixes, suffixes and generalisations for adding a suffix to a base word to read and comprehend new multimorphemic words

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a NAPLAN-year topic. Bloomi teaches it with a short explainer, guided practice, and NAPLAN-style questions — every one traceable to this exact code.

What this looks like in the classroom

• understanding how to use knowledge of prefixes to change the meaning of a base word; for example, “undone”, “remove” and “misunderstand”
• using generalisations for adding a suffix to a base word to form a plural or past tense; for example, to make a word plural when it ends in “ss”, “sh”, “ch” or “z”, add “es”
