Mastering Word Forms with Affixes Worksheets

Our Affixes Fill-in-the-Blank Worksheets are designed to help Year 2 students strengthen their vocabulary and grammar skills. With four different sets of worksheets, children read each sentence carefully and then circle the correct word form that completes the sentence. This interactive approach makes learning both fun and effective.

By practicing with prefixes and suffixes, students can learn how to:

• Recognise word families and patterns
• Expand their vocabulary beyond everyday words
• Understand how grammar rules shape sentences.

Learning Root Word Families

Understanding root word families is powerful way for young learnings to grow their vocabulary. These worksheets guide learners to circle the correct word form, reinforcing the idea that words belong to families and share common roots.

This builds a strong foundation for reading comprehension and creative writing in Year 2.

Here are some ways they can be used in the classroom:

• Whole-class activity – Project a worksheet and solve together as a group.
• Pair work – Students discuss and circle answers with a partner.
• Small group practice – Groups work through different sets and share reasoning.
• Independent work – Children complete worksheets on their own for assessment.
• Literacy centers – Rotate worksheets as part of classroom stations.
• Homework tasks – Send worksheets home for extra practice.
• Extension challenge – Ask students to create their own sentences using affixes.
