Ranked #267 in Education, #5,979 overall
Basic Building Blocks of Words
The ten prefixes and eleven suffixes quizzed here are the ones tested on the Kansas Reading Assessment for third and fourth grades. You can download a PDF that has all the prefixes, suffixes, and roots for grades three through high school.
For third and fourth grades, there are no specific root words listed.
The knowledge of prefixes, suffixes, and roots is cumulative, so a knowledge of the lower levels is assumed at higher levels.
