Description
The Re- and Dis- Prefixes Worksheet helps second graders learn how the prefixes re- and dis- change the meaning of a base word. When students see that re- means “again” or “back” and dis- means “not” or “the opposite of,” they can unlock the meaning of dozens of new words on their own. This re- and dis- prefixes worksheet gives young readers focused practice building and using prefix words in real sentences.
On this printable worksheet, students use a Word Bank of eight prefix words to complete eight sentences, choosing the word that best fits each context. Then they sort every word under the correct prefix meaning, reinforcing exactly what re- and dis- do. A complete answer key is included, so teachers and parents can check work quickly or let students self-check.
What’s Included
- One 2-page printable PDF (worksheet plus answer key)
- A Word Bank of four re- words and four dis- words
- Eight fill-in-the-blank sentences with one correct answer each
- A prefix-meaning sorting activity that builds vocabulary
This 2nd grade prefixes worksheet strengthens literacy in three ways. First, it grows vocabulary by showing students how a single prefix can create many new words. Second, it improves reading comprehension, because readers who recognize prefixes can figure out unfamiliar words in context. Third, it supports spelling and word decoding, giving students a reliable strategy for longer words.
Teachers and parents can use the Re- and Dis- Prefixes Worksheet as morning work, a literacy-center activity, guided-practice in a small group, or homework. To extend the lesson, challenge students to brainstorm more re- and dis- words, use each new word in a sentence, or hunt for prefix words in a favorite book.
