Repair Shop

The Repair Shop prefix worksheet challenges students to identify and correct sentences that contain misused or incorrectly applied prefixes. Learners must analyze each sentence, determine why the prefixed word does not make sense, and rewrite the sentence using a correct prefix that fits both meaning and structure. This editing-focused activity strengthens students’ understanding of how prefixes modify words and supports precise language use.
