Activity 2 / Phonics and Word Recognition: Assessment 1 Worksheet
Before beginning this worksheet, it is important that you explain to your kids what suffixes and prefixes are. Prefixes are words which are added to the beginning of another word in order to give it a new meaning. Suffixes, on the other hand, are added to the end of a word to change its meaning. Give your kids some popular examples of prefixed words such as ‘unhappy’ and suffixes like ‘forgetful’. Now, read the instructions in this simple worksheet and help your child circle the words where necessary, and check off the boxes where instructed.

This was a really fun way to get my kids to practice their math. I usually struggle to get them into it and Kids Academy makes it easy.

Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
