With easy-to-cut playing cards, you can have this prefix literacy center ready in minutes! The cards are simple and colorful with easy-to-read text.

This game helps students to understand how modifying words by adding a prefix changes the meaning of that word.

The provided recording sheet will keep students accountable while playing this center game with a partner and make it easy for you to assess student understanding.

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

• Teacher directions

• 32 playing cards (Use all 32 cards in one game, or pare down for younger students!)

• student recording sheet

In addition to using these cards in a literacy center, try these other simple uses:

• Use the cards to play SCOOT

• Use cards as a partner match-up game (students find the partner that either has the word with the prefix or the card with the definition)

• Use cards in guided reading groups as a small-group review
