Consolidating Prefixes and Suffixes Application
Worksheet
Give children the opportunity to add prefixes and suffixes to different root words with our Year 2 Consolidating Prefixes and Suffixes Application activity. This worksheet presents a range of root words and asks children to add prefixes and suffixes to each one. Children can be challenged to identify the root word that the most prefixes and suffixes can be added to.
You could even challenge children further by asking them to use each word in a sentence. Print this activity or display on your interactive whiteboard for children to complete in their books.
Curriculum Objectives
- Regular plural noun suffixes –s or –es [for example, dog, dogs; wish, wishes], including the effects of these suffixes on the meaning of the noun / Suffixes that can be added to verbs where no change is needed in the spelling of root words (e.g. helping, helped, helper) / Terminology for pupils: singular / Terminology for pupils: plural
- How the prefix un– changes the meaning of verbs and adjectives [negation, for example, unkind, or undoing: untie the boat]
- Formation of nouns using suffixes such as –ness, –er and by compounding [for example, whiteboard, superman] / Formation of adjectives using suffixes such as –ful, –less (A fuller list of suffixes can be found in the year 2 spelling section in English Appendix 1) / Use of the suffixes –er, –est in adjectives / Terminology for pupils: compound / Terminology for pupils: suffix
