R6.A.1.2.1 Identify how the meaning of a word is changed when an affix is added;
identify the meaning of a word from the text with an affix.
A prefix is a group of letters added before a word or base to alter its meaning and form a new word.
Examples: un- dis- re- mis- de- im- in- il- non- anti- pre-
Why It Matters:
Words with similar spelling or meaning can result from a base word using prefixes and suffixes. By understanding
how these prefixes and suffixes work, it is often easier to deal with unknown vocabulary.
1.) The supervisor ________________ about the situation in the factory. (inquire)
2.) Ms. Marcischak’s comments were ________________to Tavian. They did not assist his understanding. (help)
3.) Isaiah was very ______________to my family for providing him with food and shelter. (thank)
