Look with your youngster through this colorful worksheet and match the pictures to the words at the top. These words have different meanings due to either a prefix or suffix being added, such as "ful" or "less".
Prefixes can change the meaning of words. Adding "Un-" can give the opposite meaning, like Un-true, Un-happy, and Un-finish. Help your child learn with this worksheet. Draw a line to the picture that shows each word's meaning.
Suffixes are letters added to the end of words to form new words. These can be used to denote one who does something (e.g. reader) or more than one (e.g. adding -s). This worksheet helps kids practice pluralizing words they know by circling the plural words ending with -s.
