This worksheet provides a comprehensive list of fourteen frequently used prefixes. Each prefix is provided with an example word. Students are to think of and write down another example for each prefix. This engaging activity is designed to enhance their knowledge of word roots, thereby developing their vocabulary.
A prefix is a little group of letters we add to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. It's like adding extra ingredients to your sandwich to make it taste different. For example, if you take the word "happy" and add the prefix "un-" to the beginning, it becomes "unhappy," which means not happy. Another one is "re-," which we can put before "play" to make "replay," meaning to play again. Prefixes are fun because they can help us create lots of new words!
