Prefixes carry meaning and are powerful vocabulary builders.

Prefixes are added before root words to change the meaning of the new word. To build this concept, Prefix Match-Ups note the prefix meaning under the prefix.

Each of the 12 Prefix Match-Ups sets each covers 15 prefixes. Students match the prefixes to root words. There is a cloze sentence to tie usage and comprehension to the new words formed. Sentences often help students to figure out combinations.

The root words in Level A do not have suffixes. Those in Level B have suffixes added to root words, but the root is noted on the card.
