Prefix Lesson Plans For 2nd Grade. Help your students determine the meaning of new and unfamiliar words using roots prefixes and suffixes. Have the students hold the cards together.

Tell them that re means again.
Determine the meaning of the new word formed when a known prefix is added to a known word e g. I would also teach about deconstructing words that already have prefixes and or suffixes to get down to the root word. Explain that these are prefixes. Something fun to note is that the word prefix has a prefix itself.
