Affixes -re, -un, and -mis Worksheet

About the Adding Prefixes Worksheet

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Adding Prefixes, introduces students to three essential prefixes: Re- (meaning again or back), Un- (meaning opposite or not), and Mis- (meaning incorrectly or wrong). The worksheet presents a structured learning experience where students need to match appropriate prefixes with base words based on given descriptions. With an example provided for guidance, students can see how "unhappy" is formed by adding the prefix "un-" to "happy" to create the meaning "not happy."

The worksheet features ten engaging exercises that require students to understand both the meaning of prefixes and their proper application. Set against a cheerful backdrop with playful animal characters, including a bunny and a cow blowing bubbles, the design creates an inviting learning environment. Each question provides a clear description of the intended meaning, helping students logically determine which prefix (Re-, Un-, or Mis-) should be added to create words like "mishear," "rebuild," "untrue," and "redo." The layout is clean and organized, making it easy for students to follow the instructions and complete the exercises.
