Vocabulary Strategies: Suffixes
A suffix is a word part, such as -ful or -less, that is added to the end of root word.
To find the meaning of a word that has a suffix, separate the suffix and the root word.
Essential question: What do good citizens do?
Comprehension Skill: Point of View
The character's point of view is how the character sees things and what the character thinks about the events in a story.
The words I, my, me, and mine show that the character is telling the story from his or her own point of view.
