Prefix and Suffix of the Day | Prefix and Suffix Practice with Google Slides™

Are you looking for a resource to help you teach prefixes and suffixes in a variety of contexts? This "Prefix and Suffix of the Day" resource is perfect for your instruction on prefixes and suffixes.

NOTE: This prefix and suffix practice resource also includes a Google Slides™ digital version! Please see the 3rd page of the PDF for details and the link!

About the Prefix and Suffix of the Day

This resource includes 50 pages of prefix and suffix practice (25 pages for prefixes and 25 for suffixes).

You can use this resource during your instruction on prefixes and suffixes or after for a spiral review.

Each page includes the following:

• The affix (prefix or suffix)
• The meaning of the affix
• An example sentence containing a word with the affix for the students to find and highlight
• Two sentences containing more examples of words with the affix for the students to find and write (version 1) or define (version 2)
• A paragraph-length text that includes two words that contain the affix for the students to define (with additional context for support)

There are two versions, so make sure you choose the version that works best for you and your students. The difference between the two versions is the practice required with the two sentences containing example words.

Version 1:

For this version, the students:

• Highlight the word containing the affix in a sentence.
• Write the words containing the affix (two separate sentences).
• Define two words containing the affix in a paragraph-length text.

Version 2:

For this version, the students:

• Highlight the word containing the affix in a sentence.
• Define the words containing the affix (two separate sentences).
• Define two words containing the affix in a paragraph-length text.

The words and reading levels of the sentences and paragraphs chosen are ideal for 4th and 5th grade students. Depending on the level of the students, your students may find some words easier and some harder. I do not recommend this resource for 2nd and 3rd grade level readers (or below) without teacher support.

About the Digital Prefix and Suffix of the Day

The "Prefix and Suffix of the Day" practice pages (both versions) are also available in a digital format via Google Slides. The content is the same as the printable version.

The slides are visually appealing and optimized for digital use. The students will type their answers into provided text boxes. They will also drag and drop a semi-transparent yellow rectangle to highlight.
