"Prefix <strong>un-</strong> means NOT: <em>unhappy</em> = not happy",
"Prefix <strong>re-</strong> means AGAIN: <em>replay</em> = play again",
"Prefix <strong>dis-</strong> means NOT or OPPOSITE: <em>dislike</em> = not like",
"Suffix <strong>-er/-est</strong> compares: <em>brighter, slowest</em>",
"Suffix <strong>-ful</strong> means FULL OF, <strong>-less</strong> means WITHOUT: <em>careful, helpless</em>"

"story": "Sammy the snail was <strong>unhappy</strong>. He was the <strong>slowest</strong> animal in the whole meadow, and he felt <strong>helpless</strong> when his friends went <strong>jumping</strong> over the rocks. 'I <strong>dislike</strong> being slow,' he sighed. But his friend the ladybug said, 'I <strong>disagree</strong>! Being slow means you notice things.' She moved <strong>quickly</strong> to show him a hidden key. Sammy used it to <strong>unlock</strong> a tiny painted door in the old oak tree. Inside was a workshop where animals could <strong>repaint</strong> old toys and <strong>replay</strong> their favorite games. Sammy was <strong>careful</strong> with every toy he fixed. Soon his smile was even <strong>brighter</strong> than the sun."
