Word parts that carry meaning
Prefixes and suffixes are the highest-leverage vocabulary trick in elementary school: learn that un- means not and re- means again, and dozens of words unlock at once. Each row gives the two parts and a line to write the built word, with its meaning printed alongside (refill — fill again) so the affix’s job is visible on every single row.
Every base word joins its affix with no spelling change — no happy-to-happily traps — so the focus stays on meaning, not exceptions. Drill prefixes first (un-, re-, pre-, dis-, mis-), then suffixes (-ful, -less, -er, -ly), then mixed mode to make readers decide which end of the word changed. Answers in green.
