create a one page worksheet on the prefixes un, non, dis with questions to have them practice the skill

This resource focuses on the prefixes 'un-', 'non-', and 'dis-'. Students will learn how these prefixes are added to base words to modify their meanings, particularly in terms of negation or opposition. The resource explains the definitions and meanings of each prefix along with examples such as 'unhappy' for 'un-', 'nonfat' for 'non-', and 'disagree' for 'dis-'. Additionally, it includes practice exercises where students can choose appropriate prefixes to alter the meaning of given words and construct sentences using words that start with these prefixes. This activity aims to solidify their understanding of how prefixes function in the English language.
