Helping your child with prefix words

Why it matters. A prefix changes the meaning of a word without changing how the rest is spelled. Un, re, pre and dis unlock hundreds of words.

Where children slip. A prefix never changes the spelling of the base word, but a double letter appears when the two meet on the same letter: un + necessary is unnecessary, mis + spell is misspell.

Try it away from the page. Take a base word such as lock and add different prefixes: unlock, relock. Ask what each one does to the meaning.
