We study the root of a word and the orthograms in it

In elementary school, knowledge is accumulated in all basic subjects, which will be very important in the further education of the child. Particular attention is given to the Russian language and the study of basic rules and concepts. Among them, an important place is occupied by knowledge of speech and its components, including such a concept as the root of the word.

This concept is abstract, therefore children often have difficulties in studying it. Correctly explain and show in practice its meaning, as well as the basic orthograms that occur in it - the task though difficult, but quite feasible.

It should be noted that the root of the word is its only obligatory component. Other morphemes may be absent in one or another word, but without a root of words there is no, and some of them can consist only of this part. To say that this morpheme carries the lexical meaning of the whole meaning of the word correctly, but this is not the only main characteristic, since some words (for example, most of the service or own nouns) have a root that is found only in them and nowhere else.

The simplest way to highlight the root of the word is to select word forms and single root words. For students who are most often not given complex cases, this is quite enough. However, it is important that the examples contain a variety of morphemes and are not similar (with prefixes, without them, with suffixes, endings, etc.). It should be noted that in some bases there are runaway vowels or alternating consonants (for example, take-beru, roots of br- and ber-run, run, roots run- and beige-). Therefore, to orient yourself in distinguishing this morpheme, as well as in the selection of single-root words, follows the lexical meaning that is contained here.

One of the basic orthograms, which are already studied in the second class, are paired consonants in the root of the word. Speech in this case is about voiced and deaf sounds, which are indicated by a letter in the letter, depending on the verification. Children at this age, in most cases, write what they hear, and therefore it is necessary to teach them how to correctly find the right letter. To test this orphogram it is necessary to select pairs of words, at the root of which words will be the desired sound. However, in one of the cases he will be in a weak position, that is, at the end of the word or in a combination of a group of consonants, and in another - in a strong one. For example, the word "snow," in this case, the sonorous sound of G is not heard distinctly, closer to the deaf X or K. And in the snowform of the snow, a clear sound is clearly heard, which must be indicated on the letter in both cases.

Since younger schoolchildren still do not perceive theoretical knowledge, it is worthwhile to show more examples in practice. The best option for explaining the material will be to perform several exercises in the beginning so that children can formulate the rule on their own and understand its principle, since such knowledge will be the strongest.

One more orthogram, no less important, is alternating vowels, the writing of which depends on several factors. In this case, the difficulty can cause the selection of the root of the word, which may differ in sound, for example, a thicket and a plant. The root here will grow and grow, and it is worth paying attention first of all to the lexical meaning that is contained in them.

It must be said that in order to study the root of the word and the orthograms that it contains, a fairly large number of hours are allocated in the program of both primary and secondary schools. At the same time, most of them should be spent not on studying theoretical material, but on practical exercises that will help to consolidate the knowledge of children.
