Prefixes and Suffixes

About Prefixes and Suffixes

Second grade word study practice on word parts. Children add endings, find base words, prefixes and suffixes, and use word parts to work out meanings.

Level 1 covers endings like -ed and -ing plus finding base words, prefixes and suffixes. Level 2 covers pre-, re- and mis-. Level 3 covers -ful and -less with a mixed review. There are 3 levels of 10 questions each. A wrong answer gets a hint, a second miss shows the answer, and stars are earned at the end. No sign-in or download is needed.
