Your Prefix Study Guide
On Tuesday's test, we must be able to identify what the prefix means and write a sentence using a word with each prefix and suffix. We have had 5 periods of class time devoted to completing our note cards as learning and study aids. This page was designed to be used as a self-test to practice for our test!
