One of our English (word level work) Learning Objectives is all about understanding how words can be formed from longer words.
This can be done in 3 main/different ways:
- through the omission (missing out) of letters
for example o'clock (is short for 'of the clock')
- through the omission of prefixes
e.g. telephone is commonly shortened to phone
- through the use of acronyms
'Everyone Reading in Class' is commonly called ERIC at Kings'
I want you to think of as many as you can and add them to this post as a comment. Team points for correct answers.
