About this resource

Practice reading words with the prefix CO- with these sentence reading rings. Students will read words with the prefix co- in the context of sentences. Each card also includes a bold and colourful image to illustrate each sentence and to help students to learn the meanings of each word.

What is Included:

This resource includes one reading ring for the prefix co. There are seven cards each featuring a different word with the prefix co. The words included in this set are: coexist, copilot, coworkers, cooperate, coherent, coincident, and coed.

When to Use

  • Early Finishers - If students finish their work early, they can use these reading rings for extra practice.

  • Small Group Work - Teachers can use these reading rings to target small groups of students who need more practice reading words with prefixes.

  • Independent Practice - Students can work independently at their desks to read this set of prefix cards.

  • Morning Work - Students can read and review this reading ring for morning work as their classmates arrive to class.

How to Make:

Teachers will print out the pages and cut each card apart. Once cut apart, the teacher can choose to laminate the cards for durability. Then, use a hole punch to punch a hole in the top left corner of the card. Place the cards on a ring to create your reading ring, making sure the cover card is on top.

Teaching tips

  • Punch and assemble the cards onto a binder ring as intended so students can flip through them independently at a literacy center.

  • Have students identify the co- word in each sentence and restate its meaning using "with" or "together" before reading on.

  • Use as a quick fluency check by timing how smoothly a student reads through all seven cards.

Skills covered

  • Prefix meaning application — students read sentences where a co- word's meaning connects to the prefix's "with or together" definition.
