This activity is part of a larger unit of work for Year 3- Prefixes and Suffixes.
These handy picture cards are a great visual tool to help your students understand common prefixes and suffixes. As well as being used as flashcards to introduce and model prefixes and suffixes, this resource can also be used as a fun matching activity. Students match the word to the correct prefix or suffix to build words and complete the puzzles! With the inclusion of clear visuals, students requiring support will be scaffold to complete the puzzles, while the puzzle format keeps your advanced students engaged. Make life easy when teaching prefixes by integrating these fantastic representations of common prefixes and suffixes.
These have been created for the Year 3- Prefixes and Suffixes unit of work but are essential in any middle school classroom!
