We are having a heat wave here in Indiana. We have had temperatures above ninety degrees this week. Today it was 92 degrees–a perfect day to go swimming and a perfect day to get a sunburn!<\/p>\n

For today’s WORDY WEDNESDAY, I thought we would look at two prefixes that have to do with July in Indiana–SOL and THERM.<\/p>\n

If you have been reading Language Lady very long, you know my two rules of thumb for learning:<\/p>\n

1. You know more than you think you know.<\/p>\n

2. Use what you already know to learn even more!<\/p>\n

Those two rules of thumb definitely apply to today’s prefixes.+<\/p>\n

We encourage our students to take a key word–any word that you already know–that has to do what you are trying to learn.<\/p>\n

In the case of sol and therm, you can take two words you already know as your “key words” to help you remember these two prefixes:<\/p>\n

SOL–solar….you know that solar means sun if you have ever talked about a solar blanket for your pool, solar power (generating power through the sun), or solar eclipse<\/p>\n

THERM–thermos or thermal…you know that THERM means heat if you have ever carried your soup or coffee in a thermos or had “thermal underwear” on in the winter to keep you warm.<\/p>\n

So…take your two KEY WORDS and use them any time you see the prefixes SOL and THERM:<\/p>\n

1. Sol
a. solar
b. solarium–part of a room that is exposed to the sun
c. solstice–the pointer in which the sun stands sill<\/p>\n

2. Therm
a. thermoplastic
b. thermos
c. thermodynamics
d. thermoelectric<\/p>\n

The “solar heat” is high right now in Indiana, and the thermometer shows it at in the low nineties!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

+Remember: A prefix is an affix. An affix is a letter or letters attached to a word that give more meaning to the word. The affix itself actually has meaning. A prefix is an affix that is added to the beginning <\/u>of a word–thus, the prefix to the word prefix PRE (meaning before)!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
