Build Words with Prefixes

Do you want to make new words easily? With this playsheet, you’ll practice using prefixes to build stronger vocabulary. Prefixes are word parts added to the beginning of base words, and they can change meanings in powerful ways.

You’ll explore common prefixes like un-, re-, dis-, and pre-. Each one transforms a base word into something new—for example, happy becomes unhappy or do becomes redo. By practicing, you’ll learn how to unlock meanings quickly.

As you continue, your reading and spelling skills will improve. You’ll notice how prefixes create patterns that make unfamiliar words easier to understand.
