Prefix Activities for 2nd Grade

This 2nd grade grammar resource includes a full week of prefix activities with minilessons on PowerPoint, worksheets, task cards, poster, and assessment. Students learn to recognize and read words with prefixes, generate examples, determine the word’s meaning, and use prefixes in their writing. This unit includes short daily practice in a variety of formats.

This simple 5-day routine allows you to teach, practice and assess your students in 15 minutes or less each day. The daily routine includes whole group practice as well as partner activities. The easy to grade worksheets are ideal for reinforcement, morning work, or homework. An engaging reading passage gives students the opportunity to identify and determine the meaning of words with prefixes in context. Students apply their learning in a writing activity with three different formats for easy differentiation. On Friday students are assessed with a short, easy to grade assessment.
