The Prefix 'mis-' - Worksheet

The Prefix 'mis-' Worksheet is an educational resource designed to help students understand and practice using words that begin with the prefix 'mis-'. This prefix typically indicates a wrong or incorrect action or form. The worksheet presents a list of such words, including 'mistreat', 'misshapen', 'mistake', 'mismanage', 'misunderstand', 'misread', 'misfortune', and 'misleading'. Each word is accompanied by a definition, and the task is to draw lines to match each word to its correct meaning. For example, 'mistreat' refers to treating a person or animal badly or unfairly, while 'misshapen' describes something that does not have the normal or natural shape.

In addition to matching words to definitions, the worksheet includes fill-in-the-blank exercises to apply the words in context. Students are given sentences with missing words and must choose the appropriate 'mis-' word to complete each sentence correctly. For instance, one might fill in the blank with 'misread' when Ryan is embarrassed for reading the word 'quite' as 'quiet'. The worksheet also encourages students to write their own sentences using each 'mis-' word, reinforcing their understanding and ability to use these words accurately in various contexts. The worksheet is a useful tool for teachers to enhance their pupils' vocabulary and comprehension of prefixes in English.
