There are also Teacher Notes pages for the different activities to give you tidbits of helpful information!

The activities focus on the most commonly used prefixes and suffixes. The structure for the suffix activities is the same as the structure for the prefix activities to keep things consistent for the students.

The activities are challenging my students right now, making them and me aware of their understanding of how prefixes/suffixes work!

Make prefixes and suffixes more engaging with the Prefix and Suffix Fun! activities! :-)
