Adding Prefixes 'auto' and 'super' Presentation

A presentation aimed at Year 3 and Year 4 pupils introduces the concept of prefixes, specifically focusing on 'auto' and 'super'. The learning objective is for students to understand and use these prefixes effectively. The presentation includes teacher instructions, which suggest various ways to utilise the PowerPoint, such as introducing and consolidating the spelling of words with these prefixes, and revising the words to ensure the class's needs are met. It provides a systematic approach to learning, starting with the explanation of spelling rules, followed by whole-class activities on whiteboards, and culminating in independent or paired work for students to record in their exercise books or on whiteboards.

The PowerPoint contains a wealth of content, including spelling lists with words prefixed by 'auto' and 'super', such as 'autobiography', 'supercharge', and 'supertanker'. It also offers an explanation of what a prefix is and how it can change the meaning of a base word. Interactive activities encourage students to add the correct prefix to base words and to solve anagrams. Furthermore, the presentation provides a 'Sentence Challenge' and a 'Paragraph Challenge', prompting students to use a dictionary to check the meanings of words and construct sentences or paragraphs that are both coherent and engaging. The challenges aim to deepen the pupils' understanding of the words and their usage in context.
