This week’s spelling list is formed with words that have the prefixes im– and in–. If you don’t know what any of the words mean, find out!
- Think about the root word and how the prefix changes the meaning.
- Can you show your words in a creative way?
- Can you write them in your own sentences?
| impossible | impolite | impatient | impure | imperfect |
| incorrect | inactive | invisible | insecure | inflexible |
