Learning Prefixes

Does your child need a little prefix practice? A prefix is a letter group that can be attached to a root word. Prefixes generally change the meaning or sense of the root word in some way, such as giving it an opposite meaning. Help your third grader wrap her head around prefixes with this worksheet that asks her to attach the right prefix to a set of root words.
