Why may search results for derived words display words in which the selected letter(s) do not function as a prefix, suffix, or root?
We are aware that this may happen. For example, the word “abode” appears in the search results for the prefix “ab-“. We chose to allow these words to appear in the search results because they have pedagogical value. Because students must develop an awareness that letters don’t always function as affixes, activities that require students to sort words according to whether or not the letter(s) function as an affix are highly effective for developing morphological awareness and knowledge.
