List Them Down

Worksheet Description

The “Word Formation” worksheet is an interactive educational tool where students are instructed to create a list of words derived from a reading passage. In the first column, they must identify and write down 20 words from the passage to which they can add a prefix or a suffix. Then, in the second column, they are to write the new word that results from this addition. This worksheet is designed to be used in conjunction with a reading assignment, allowing students to directly apply their understanding of word formation to the vocabulary found in the text.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students about the dynamics of word formation through the use of prefixes and suffixes. It encourages them to engage with a text and deepen their understanding of how words can be modified and extended. The activity aids in the expansion of their vocabulary by showing how many different words can be formed from a single root. Additionally, it reinforces their grasp of how affixes can alter the meaning or function of a word, thus enhancing their language skills and comprehension.
