Prefix Practice Worksheet - mis-
The Prefix Practice Worksheet - mis- introduces students to the prefix mis-, focusing on how it alters the meaning of familiar base words.
Students complete a table by forming new words (e.g. spell → misspell, read → misread), then choose two to use in original sentences.
The worksheet also includes an answer sheet for easy marking or class discussion.
