Use these 32 task cards to practice working with prefixes. The set contains two types of cards. The first 16 cards require students to change a base word in a sentence into a new word by adding one of four prefixes. This will help your students to see how adding a prefix changes the meaning of the word. Cards 17-32 require student to fill in the blank in a sentence with the correct word, given four choices. Only one of the choices will work. These cards will help your students to practice using the correct prefix with a given base word. In addition, students must underline the prefixes on their answer sheets for additional practice. I intentionally selected a short answer format for these cards because I feel students will learn more and remember better if they are required to write each of the words.
Two choices for student answer sheets are included along with an answer key for self-checking. There is also a Challenge Card that can be used in conjunction with any other card to extend the activity. These task cards are perfect for test prep and will work well at literacy centers, stations, for partner work, or with the whole class using a game like Scoot.
The cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.
This resource addresses Common Core Standard L.2
L.2.4. Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 2 reading and content, choosing flexibly from an array of strategies.
-Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
-Determine the meaning of the new word formed when a known prefix is added to a known word (e.g., happy/unhappy, tell/retell).
L.3.4. Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning word and phrases based on grade 3 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.
-Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
-Determine the meaning of the new word formed when a known affix is added to a known word (e.g., agreeable/disagreeable, comfortable/uncomfortable, care/careless, heat/preheat).
Task Cards for a variety of topics can be found in the Task Card section of my TpT store.
Happy Teaching!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rachel's task cards. (I'm embarrassed to tell you how many I own.) They are great for fast finishers, centers, and to play Scoot (in which the whole class practices a skill).

Rachel,
I love your task cards and have probably bought enough for you to retire (haha). I would love to see a set of prefix cards appropriate for 5th and 6th grade. I use your cards during my Daily 5 rotations and find that the practice those cards provide is a catalyst for the student success on our state tests. We use the "Words Their Way" program for word study, and I would love to have task cards for the Deravational Stage sorts.
Thanks for all you do

Hi Kerry,
I will put prefix cards for 5-6 on my list, but I have a bunch of other stuff to get through first. It sounds like a great idea though, thanks for suggesting it!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
Most of my teaching experience is with gifted and talented students in grades 2-4, though I have worked with children of all ages in general education classrooms as well. A few years ago I stopped teaching in order to write nonfiction children's books full time. Gradually over the last couple of years, my career has switched from writing to creating teaching materials here on Teacher Pay Teacher. I love creating teaching products (most recently task cards) and feel just as passionate about my work now as I did when I was teaching. I also love knowing that my products help thousands of teachers and reach tens of thousands of students.
