The Prefix 'dis' - Worksheet

The "Prefix 'dis'" worksheet is an educational resource designed to help students understand and practice using the prefix 'dis'. The worksheet includes a variety of exercises that encourage learners to engage with the prefix and its effect on root words. In the first activity, students are asked to match 'dis' words with their root words, such as pairing 'agree' with 'disagree'. Another task requires them to add the prefix 'dis' to given words and then discuss the new meanings with a partner, enhancing their vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Further exercises include circling words that can be altered by adding 'dis', and selecting the correct 'dis' word to complete sentences, which helps to reinforce their understanding of the prefix in context. For example, they might choose 'disobey' to fill in a sentence about not following instructions. To encourage deeper learning, students are also prompted to write sentences using words that incorporate the prefix 'dis', such as 'dislike', 'disappear', and 'dishonest'. This worksheet is an effective tool for building language skills related to word formation and understanding prefixes.
