Perfect for a bulletin board, this poster clarifies what a prefix is and includes a variety of examples.

Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of a base word that alters its meaning. Some of the most common prefixes include "un-" (meaning not), as in "unhappy"; "re-" (meaning again), as in "redo"; "pre-" (meaning before), as in "preview"; and "dis-" (meaning opposite of), as in "disagree." These prefixes are fundamental components of English vocabulary, helping to expand and enhance students' understanding of word formation and meaning.
