Prefixes Activities: A Complete Teaching and Practice Unit For Year 2-3
NZ$11.00
Description
This complete unit provides everything you need to systematically and explicitly teach four common prefixes (re-, un-, dis-, in-/im-) using an evidence-based, morphology-first approach.
Built on the principles of the Science of Reading, this resource uses a Structured Literacy framework, moving beyond memorisation to build deep, transferable skills by focusing on word parts.
- Focus on Meaning and Function: We directly teach the meaning and function of specific prefixes (like re-, and un-) using ready-to-go slides.
- Systematic Application: Lessons systematically connect prefix meaning to spelling (encoding), with built-in practice to ensure learning sticks.
- Strengthens Reading and Spelling: By focusing on these specific word parts, we strengthen both spelling (encoding) and reading comprehension (decoding).
