Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to play word games for core and extension ability levels to match the prefixes super, mis and dis to a range of different word roots and a set of cards for support ability levels to combine prefixes and roots to build different words.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to match the prefixes super, mis and dis to different word roots to use in example sentences about story settings.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate how authors illustrate characters and narrate plot events using direct speech when writing stories, practise adding prefixes to word roots and punctuate direct speech sentences correctly. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
