Are your class ready to learn about adding prefixes to verbs to change their meaning? Use our Year 5 Prefixes Unit Plan to support creating content for a sequence of lessons.

This resources starts off with a timetable to suggest where in the year this unit of work could be taught. It then gives an overview of what objectives are covered in this guidance, followed by an individual page for each proposed lesson. The lessons include understanding and using the prefixes 'de-', 'dis-', 'mis-', 're-' and 'over-' to change the meaning of verbs.

Each small step, or lesson, guidance page includes a notes and guidance section that covers what children should be aware of before they begin the lesson, and what the expected lesson outcome should be. There are a series of focused questions that you could incorporate into your teaching too. This guidance works well with the corresponding resources for this lesson, and these include things like worksheets, teaching resources and much more!
