Welcome to your first set of vocabulary words! The definitions for the terms are found on the page listed in parentheses. During the course of the week you should use one or more of your study skills to learn the spelling AND definitions for each word. Pay close attention to prefixes, suffixes and root meanings as they will be of great help on your high school entrance exam. On Friday we will take a spelling test and vocab quiz using the format discussed in class.
