(4) Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to:

• (A) identify the meaning of common prefixes (e.g., in-, dis-) and suffixes (e.g., -full, -less), and know how they change the meaning of roots;

• (B) use context to determine the relevant meaning of unfamiliar words or distinguish among multiple meaning words and homographs;

• (C) identify and use antonyms, synonyms, homographs, and homophones;

• (D) identify and apply playful uses of language (e.g., tongue twisters, palindromes, riddles); and

• (E) alphabetize a series of words to the third letter and use a dictionary or a glossary to determine the meanings, syllabication, and pronunciation of unknown words.
