What do morphological skills primarily focus on?

  1. Understanding context clues

  2. Improving listening comprehension

  3. Understanding the meaning of word parts

  4. Enhancing writing abilities

The correct answer is: Understanding the meaning of word parts

Morphological skills primarily focus on understanding the meaning of word parts. This involves analyzing how prefixes, suffixes, and root words combine to create meaning in words. By developing morphological awareness, students can improve their vocabulary understanding and decoding skills, which are critical for reading comprehension. When students recognize common morphological elements, they can infer meanings of unfamiliar words and thus enhance their overall reading abilities. This understanding transcends rote memorization and encourages deeper engagement with the language, as students are equipped to break down complex words into manageable parts.
