Phonics: Module 27, Lesson 1 (Day 131): Identifying Words with Prefixes

Phonics: Lesson 1 -  Identifying Words with Prefixes

 

Introduction

Today, you will read and spell words with prefixes.

 

Visual

We are going to learn two prefixes.

• A prefix is a group of letters placed at the beginning of a word to create a new word. 
• Look at the word dislike. The prefix dis- is added to the base word like. The prefix dis- means “not” or “opposite of.” So the word dislike means “to not like.”
• Now look at the word unsafe. The prefix un- is added to the base word safe. The prefix un- also means “not” or “opposite of.” So the word unsafe means “not safe.”

 

Task

In Your Notebook:  Draw a two-column chart. Write dis- and un- in the top columns on the chart.

 

Interactive

Directions: Read each word. Sort the word under the correct category. After completing the sort, please copy this sort into your phonics/word study journal.
