SRA FLEX LITERACY ™ IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE 29
4. Word Study
Beginning in Lesson 81, each lesson contains one or more word study activities. The
word study activities in these lessons provide instruction and practice with prefixes,
suffixes, and root words. Each series of activities introduces one or more prefixes,
suffixes, or roots, and then provides question items in which students identify a word
that uses the correct prefix, suffix, or root.
5. Vocabulary Practice
Beginning in Lesson 81, each lesson features vocabulary practice activities. Vocabulary
practice activities address the three words introduced earlier in the lesson as well as
three words introduced in a previous lesson. Question items within these activities
relate to a number of skill-driven tasks, such as requiring students to match words with
definitions, to complete a sentence with the correct word, and to identify synonyms
and antonyms of a word. Unlike vocabulary preview activities, student performance on
the vocabulary practice activities is included in the student’s overall performance
grade.
