Adding Prefixes 'dis' and 'mis' Quiz

KS2Gems has created a valuable resource for Year 3 and Year 4 students to enhance their spelling skills, particularly focusing on the correct usage of the prefixes 'dis' and 'mis'. This Spelling Quiz 17 is designed to be a brief activity, lasting between 5 to 10 minutes, and doesn't require any additional equipment for the children. It serves as an excellent tool to reinforce the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, and patterns taught during the week, and also aids in the long-term retention of these concepts.

The quiz consists of a series of sentences where students are tasked with choosing the correct spelling of a word to complete each sentence accurately. The words in question include those prefixed with 'dis' and 'mis', as well as other potentially challenging spellings. For example, students must select the correct form of words like 'unpleasant', 'disobey', 'disappear', 'disagree', 'unlikely', 'unusual', 'unhappy', 'misfortune', 'misplace', and 'misunderstand' from a list of similar-looking options. This engaging activity not only tests their knowledge but also helps to build their confidence in spelling and understanding the meaning of words with common prefixes.
