Power Match Answer Key

The Power Match prefix worksheet helps students build strong morphological awareness by matching common prefixes (re-, un-, pre-, dis-) to their correct meanings. Learners analyze how prefixes change word meaning and then apply that understanding through a creative bonus challenge where they generate their own example words. This structured yet flexible activity supports both recognition and application of prefix knowledge, laying the groundwork for advanced vocabulary development.
