Root, Prefix & Suffix Word Building Worksheets with a Word Matrix Bundle

Here is a bundle of 10 engaging word building morphology activities that teaches prefixes and suffixes using a word matrix while building strategies for reading, spelling, and gaining vocabulary knowledge of multisyllabic words. 

Great for partner and small cooperative group work and centers, as well as practice, reinforcement, and enrichment of prefix and suffix knowledge.
