Adding Prefixes 'auto' and 'super' Quiz

A spelling quiz designed for Year 3 and Year 4 students focuses on the addition of the prefixes 'auto' and 'super' to base words. This engaging PowerPoint quiz is a concise activity, lasting only 5-10 minutes, and requires no equipment for the children. The aim is to consolidate the learning of statutory words, spelling rules, or patterns that have been taught during the week, as well as to aid in the long-term retention of these spelling concepts. Each slide presents a sentence with a missing word, and the students must choose the correct spelling from the given options.

For example, students are asked to select the correct spelling to complete sentences like "My secret __________ is that I can fly," where the answer is 'superpower'. Other sentences require choosing the correct form of words such as 'autograph', 'superman', 'automate', 'supermarket', 'automobile', 'superstore', 'supersonic', 'automatic', and 'superhuman'. Each of these words demonstrates the correct usage of 'auto' and 'super' as prefixes, helping students understand how these prefixes alter the meaning of the base word to create a new term with a specific, enhanced connotation.
