Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Add a prefix to a base word to make a new word, working from the base word alone
Add a suffix to a base word in the same way, across eleven common bases
Choose correctly between un-, re- and pre- when all three are offered against the same word
Teaching tips
- Start with the page offering prefix choices, then ask students to explain how a chosen prefix changes the base word.
- Use the sentence-writing page to connect suffix spelling with meaning.
Skills covered
Building words with prefixes - students add prefixes to ten bases on the first page; a separate eleven-item page supplies un-, re- and pre- choices.
Building words with suffixes - eleven base words are given a suffix, and a second page repeats the demand with the added requirement of a sentence.
Using a new word in writing - the suffix sentence page asks students to produce their own sentence for each word they have formed.
