An educational resource titled "The Prefix 'auto-'" provides an engaging worksheet to help students understand and apply the prefix 'auto-' to various words. The worksheet prompts students to match words that start with 'auto-' to their correct definitions. For example, 'automobile' is paired with 'a car', and 'autonomy' is associated with 'independence or having rights'. The exercise not only expands vocabulary but also enhances comprehension of how the prefix 'auto-', meaning 'self', modifies the meaning of a base word.

Further deepening their grasp of the concept, students are asked to fill in the blanks in sentences with the appropriate 'auto-' words, such as 'autoclave', 'automaton', 'autograph', and 'autocue'. This activity serves to reinforce the definitions learned earlier and provides a practical application of the words in context. Additionally, learners are challenged to write their own sentences using each 'auto-' word, fostering creative thinking and the ability to use new vocabulary accurately in writing. The worksheet is a comprehensive tool designed to enhance students' understanding of prefixes and their role in word formation.
