As part of a literacy assignment, I am writing a piece of text analysing
the
difficulties students may have with learning and understanding certain
similar scientific words. For example, words such as dissolve, soluble,
insoluble, solution, solvent and solute all have "sol" as part of the
word.
How do I describe this part of the word? Syllable? Phoneme? Something
else?
Any ideas appreciated.
