Phonics: Module 1, Lesson 1 (Day 1): Identifying Prefixes

Phonics: Lesson 1 - Identifying Prefixes

Introduction

Today, you will identify words with prefixes (un-, re-).

A prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a base word to change the meaning and create a new word.

For Example: un + happy = unhappy

A base word is a word that can stand on its own and has meaning.

 

In Your Notebook: Please write down the definition for prefix and base word.

---

Read each word. Sort the word based on its prefix. After completing the sort, please copy this sort into your phonics/word study journal.
