Prefix and suffix worksheets

Prefixes go at the start of a word (un-, re-, pre-, dis-) and suffixes at the end (-ful, -less, -ly). Match each to its meaning and build new words. There are 4 sheets here: prefix meanings, add a prefix, suffix meanings and add a suffix. Pick one from the tray, print it, and add its answer key as a second page if you want one.
