Learn prefix and suffix concepts with an interactive teaching presentation.
What is an Affix? Teaching Suffixes and Prefixes Just Got Easier!
There’s nothing more frustrating than when you’re trying to teach students about prefixes and suffixes, but they don’t get it.
You want to make sure your students understand how prefixes and suffixes change the meanings of words—and that’s not always easy. That’s why we created our Prefix & Suffix slide deck for Elementary Teachers. It includes 23 slides with interactions and checks for understanding throughout, so you can make sure every student is grasping this tricky concept. We’ve even included interactive Google Slides activities so you can focus on making sure your students grasp the content.
Use this teaching resource when teaching your students about prefixes and suffixes.

I would love this as a paying subscriber; however, it is only offered in Google Slides and I require PowerPoint or Adobe PDF to be able to download on my Dept. of Ed. laptop. Is this available in those formats?
Hi Jacqueline! Thanks for your note! We have uploaded a PowerPoint version for you. Just as a side note, you can turn any Google Slide presentation into a PowerPoint by opening the file in slides, then selecting File-->Download --> Powerpoint. Have a great week!
