Adding Prefixes 're' Presentation

The "Adding Prefixes 're'" presentation by KS2Gems is a comprehensive educational resource tailored for Years 3 and 4 students, with the learning objective to understand and use the prefix 're'. The presentation is designed to introduce a curated word list, explain spelling rules associated with these words, and provide a variety of activities to reinforce learning. Students are encouraged to engage with the content through whole class activities on whiteboards, which can be undertaken individually or collaboratively, as well as through independent exercises that can be recorded in exercise books or on whiteboards, allowing for flexibility to cater to different learning styles and needs.

The presentation covers the concept of prefixes, highlighting 're' as a prefix that signifies repetition or doing something again. Students explore the meanings of words like 'redecorate', 'rediscover', 'reappear', and 'reunion' through clear explanations that break down the base words and the impact of adding 're'. Additionally, the resource includes various challenges such as rewriting sentences using 're' prefixed words, finding and writing definitions and sentences for words from the spelling list, and even a fun anagram challenge where students unscramble letters to find words that incorporate the prefix. These activities not only enhance vocabulary but also promote understanding of word structures and dictionary use for checking meanings.
