Affix Explorer

Description

This learning resource is focused on the concept of affixes, specifically prefixes and suffixes, and how they modify root words to change their meanings. It includes an affix reference chart that outlines common prefixes and suffixes, their meanings, and examples of words that employ them (e.g., 're-' as in 'reread' and '-ness' as in 'kindness'). The resource also contains interactive activities to reinforce learning: a word building activity where students create new words by combining root words with affixes, a sentence completion exercise using a provided word bank, and a word sort activity that categorizes words based on the presence of prefixes or suffixes. These exercises aim to enhance students' understanding of how affixes function in the English language.
