Real Grammar
This Real Grammar KS2 resources pack provides everything that you need to explore verb prefixes in Year 5. Prefixes included in the resource pack are dis-, de-, mis-, over-, inter-, under- and re-. Teaching slides, worksheets, games and an opportunity to apply the new learning in a writing task are all included to create a complete resource to teach adding prefixes to words to form verbs.
Pupils will need to be familiar with verbs and what a prefix is before completing the activities in the resource pack. They will also need to be familiar with root words.
A prefix is a group of letters that can be added to the beginning of a word to a create a new word. Prefixes have different meanings so they can be used to change the meaning of a word. Examples of prefixes include un-, dis-, mis-, in-, super-, anti-, auto-, sub-, semi-, bi- and non-.
A verb prefix is where a prefix is added to a word and a verb is formed. Examples include dis-, de-, mis-, over-, inter-, under- and re- and each prefix has a different meaning.
Most prefixes can be added to words without any change in spelling of the root word. See English Appendix 1: Spelling for more information.
This pack is divided into five parts:
TEACH
This section includes PowerPoint teaching slides and teaching notes with an optional script to introduce verb prefixes. It can also be used to revisit this aspect of grammar with pupils.
PRACTISE
An independent activity for pupils to practise using what they have been taught, allowing teachers to assess understanding.
