Put your children's spelling knowledge to the test with this Key Stage 2 Adding Prefixes and Suffixes to Make New Words Test Practice resource. We've included four levels of differentiation that can be used one per key stage 2 year group, or use all four levels of challenge in each year group. This is a great resource to assess any gaps in children's learning and to plan future intervention groups. The beginner and easy levels include suffixes only whereas the expert and tricky levels include the use of prefixes and suffixes.

Use as a task to show ongoing assessment and progress throughout the year, or include it as a task in an intervention group. These can also be used as a homework activity or a challenge or extension worksheet too; the choice is yours! Each test has an easy-to-follow answer page to help you speed through the marking pile, or give out to your class to use as a peer or self-assessment tool.
