Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
- Revise prefixes and suffixes by breaking down some common words into their roots- prefix/suffix components. e.g. happy + ness = happiness un + happy + ness = unhappiness - Guide learners to play games, e.g. Affixes Game. Write prefixes and suffixes on cards. Learners take turns to pick these from the basket or bag. If a learner is able to add a root to the prefix or the suffix and read out the word correctly, he/she keeps it. At the end of the game, the child with the largest number of cards wins the game. - Learners may also work in groups to derive words using given prefixes and suffixes and using them in sentences.
