Word Building - "Suffixes & Prefixes" - Words can change from one part of speech to another by adding a prefix or a suffix - ((110 nouns, verbs, adjectives to change)) - elementary/intermediate - (( B&W VERSION INCLUDED ))
A root is a word in its basic simple form. A word may be built up or have its meaning changed by an addition at the beginning(prefix, e.g. unsafe) or at the end(suffix, e.g. gardener). Words can also change from one part of speech to another by adding or removing the prefix or suffix by changing the spelling. This worksheet focusses on changing the part of speech of a word by adding a prefix or a suffix. It has over 110 words to complete and a Black & White version is also included. Hope you find it useful. Cheers.

leaponover

Needs a Key         posted by leaponover
I don´t mean to be obtuse, but this definitely needs a key. I don´t know what verbs you are forming from some of these nouns at the bottom like ´company´ and ´food´. I guess food = feed but that is certainly not based on adding prefixes or suffixes. It involves completely changing the root. The bottom part is a little too confusing to make it teachable.
