SVUSD – Grade 4
Lesson 32
Latin Roots: vid/vis
Generalization:
Root words are parts of Latin and Greek words. In English they do not stand on their
own as independent words; they are always preceded or followed (or both) by affixes.
Spelling, syllabication, and derivational generalizations are used when adding prefixes
and suffixes to roots.
vid/vis = to see, to look at
Note: Base words are elements that can be used to build words by adding affixes but are
also complete words in themselves (power, powerful, powerless).
