Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to play a game to identify a selection of word roots that can be changed by the addition of the prefixes mis and dis and a set of cards to select and match different words that can be changed by the addition of the prefixes mis and dis.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to add the prefixes dis and mis to a selection of word roots to build a range of different words.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to respond to stories with familiar settings to investigate story structure and descriptive vocabulary, practise adding the prefixes dis and mis to word roots and learn how to join sentences using conjunctions. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
