Product description
From the author
This worksheet is a great way for students to practice identifying and using prefixes and suffixes. By underlining the prefix or suffix and writing the root word, students will get a better understanding of how these word parts change the meaning of a word. This is a valuable skill for students to have as they continue to build their vocabulary.
