Struggling with Teaching Affixes? We Can Help!

We can help! Along with our printable resources, worksheets, task cards, and games covering the concept of affixes, we’ve also created a new digital interactive activity for your students to practice reading, writing, and breaking down words with affixes.

Can You Color by Number with Words? Absolutely!

This resource can be used in multiple ways. It can be completed in a whole-group learning session by having your students come up to the board to interact with the elements on each slide, or your students can complete it independently.

Each slide features a group of gumballs that have lost their color! Students must use the paint can tool in Google Slides to recolor each gumball according to a color key On each slide, students must

  1. Read a word containing a prefix, suffix, or both.
  2. Break apart the word and determine if it has a prefix or suffix and use the paint can to color the gumball the correct color.
  3. Type the word into the table by breaking it into its prefix, base word and/or suffix.
