How to Use This Pack

Six pages about prefixes and endings. Pages 1 and 5 ask what an underlined word means (refill: fill again), page 2 puts parts together to make new words, page 4 is a draw-a-line match of words and meanings, and pages 3 and 6 pick the ending a sentence needs from -s, -ed and -ing.

In the Classroom

Write fill on the board and add re- in a different color: refill, fill again. Then add -er to help and ask what a helper does. For the ending pages, point out the time words: yesterday, now, every day.

At Home

Use the words in a day: "Can you refill your cup?" "Please unpack your bag." Ask your child what each word means and how they knew.

Tips for Success

  • re- means again
  • un- means not, or the opposite
  • -er can mean one who
  • Yesterday asks for -ed
