Prefix -un

We are working on the prefix -un in fourth grade. I am wanting the students to have cards that allow them to create new words by combining the prefix -un with different root words. Examples of root words we can use include:


  • happy (unhappy)

  • do (undo)

  • kind (unkind)

  • lock (unlock)

  • familiar (unfamiliar). This will help the students understand how the prefix changes the meaning of the words.
