Prefixes, Suffixes, and Root Words Worksheets for Grade 1, 2, 3

Introduction

This set of 10 engaging worksheets helps students explore how prefixes, suffixes, and root words change or build meaning in English. Through a variety of hands-on activities, learners add prefixes (un, re, dis), attach suffixes (-ful, -less, -er), and work with common Greek and Latin roots like port, spect, and scrib/script.

Students practice forming new words, discovering meanings, and expanding vocabulary as they complete short exercises, matching tasks, and fill-in-the-blank tasks. These activities strengthen word analysis, spelling, and comprehension, giving learners tools to decode and understand unfamiliar words with confidence.
