About the Prefixes Worksheet

This fun and engaging prefixes worksheet introduces students to three common prefixes: Re- (meaning again or back), Un- (meaning opposite or not), and Mis- (meaning incorrectly or wrong). This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Prefixes, features a creative spinner game format that makes learning prefixes an entertaining experience. The colorful design includes a friendly monkey character and a vibrant spinner divided into three sections for each prefix.

The worksheet challenges students to add appropriate prefixes to base words only when they create real words. Students spin the spinner and attempt to match the landed prefix with words like "heat," "aware," "hear," "happy," "common," "place," "behave," "turn," "kind," "lead," "do," "well," "able," "fair," and "write." This active learning approach encourages students to think critically about word formation and meaning while ensuring engagement through the game-like format.
