How the lesson starts: Use Word Parts for Meaning

1. Zippy's Word Workshop

   Beep boop! This is Zippy the robot. Zippy builds words from little parts. Parts go on the front or the end. Each part has a meaning!

2. Parts and meanings

   Here are some parts. Un means not, like unhappy. Re means again, like replay. Pre means before, like preheat. Ful means full of, like careful. Less means without, like careless.

3. Zippy matches parts

   Zippy matches three parts. Use the example word! Careful means full of care, so ful means full of. Replay means play again, so re means again. A farmer is one who farms, so E R means one who.
