Decoding Rule: Read the Prefix Second

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

After the suffix, read the prefix, which modifies the term by position, number, time, or degree.

Show

In hypoglycemia, the prefix hypo says the condition is one of deficiency.

Watch for

A term with no prefix skips this step. An absent prefix is not a missing piece.
