Prefixes and Suffixes

About Prefixes and Suffixes

Fourth grade Language Arts practice on word parts. Kids find base words, prefixes, and suffixes, work out what words with pre-, re-, mis-, -ful, -less, -ly, -ness, -able, and -ment mean, and choose the right word for a sentence. Questions can be read aloud.

There are 3 levels of 10 questions each, from easy to challenging. A wrong answer gets a hint, a second miss shows the answer, and stars are earned at the end. Nothing is timed, and no sign-in is needed.
