Color Sort

This prefix color-coding worksheet helps students build strong morphological awareness by identifying how prefixes change word meaning. Learners read each prefixed word and color it according to its meaning-blue for again, green for before, and yellow for not-using visual categorization to reinforce vocabulary understanding and retention.
