Our spellings this week focus on the use of prefixes. Prefixes are added to the start of a root word to change its meaning. For example, interested could have the opposite meaning by adding the prefix un – uninterested. This week, children will not be given a list of words to learn but should practise using the prefixes below to change the meaning of a root word. During our weekly spelling test, children will be asked to use these prefixes correctly in different contexts. Children will have a spelling test on Friday 18 January 2018.
un (eg unusual)
mis (eg misunderstand)
dis (disinterested)
re (eg reorganise)
