What is the base of <healthy>?
This past week we learned that finding the base of a word is the key to meaning and also the spelling.
heal + th + y --> healthy
In the word <healthy>, <heal> is the base and <th> and <y> are the two suffixes. You will notice the pronunciation changes but
the spelling stays the same.
This is why we spell out the base when announcing the word sum. We all learn better when information is chunked in small pieces. That's why this helps so much with spelling memory.
