Decoding Words Using Colored Shapes

A suggested method on having students translate words by first separating the word according to its shoresh, prefix and suffix using shapes of different colors. A green square connotes a prefix, a yellow oval shows a shoresh and a red triangle means a suffix. After the students separate words into these three categories, it will be easier for them to figure out the translation of the words. Includes a suggestive guide on teaching Chumash, samples on how to use the decoding shapes and templates of the three shapes.
