"Root Word + Affix" is a comprehensive language arts exercise focusing on word formation and morphology. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Root Word + Affix, guides students through the process of transforming sentences using prefixes and suffixes. The first page introduces six common prefixes (dis-, im-, re-, il-, un-, mis-) with exercises that challenge students to convert negative phrases into single words using appropriate prefixes, while providing clear examples like changing "did not agree" to "disagreed."
The second page explores suffixes (-ful, -less, -est, -er, -able, -ly) and their application in sentence transformation. Each page features charming illustrations - a bird with an umbrella in the rain on the first page and a friendly dog on the second - creating an engaging learning environment. The worksheet provides clear examples and structured practice opportunities for students to understand how affixes modify root words to create new meanings, with carefully selected sentences that demonstrate real-world usage of these word-building concepts.
