Identify Affixes and Base Words

This interactive and printable worksheet titled "Prefixes" is designed to help students understand and practice using prefixes in English. Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of a root word to modify its meaning. This worksheet focuses on five common prefixes: re-, un-, dis-, mis-, and pre-. It begins with a brief introduction to these prefixes and their meanings, followed by engaging activities to reinforce the concepts.

In the first activity, students are presented with five words and are instructed to underline the prefixes and circle the root words. This exercise helps them identify and distinguish between prefixes and root words. The second activity requires students to match the given prefixes with root words to form new words. This activity tests their understanding of how prefixes alter the meanings of root words and encourages them to create new words using their knowledge of prefixes.
