Word Fusion Workshop

In this worksheet, students combine a prefix with a base word to create a new vocabulary term. After forming the new word, they write a short definition using their understanding of how the prefix changes meaning. This process encourages students to actively apply knowledge of word-building and word structure. The activity helps students recognize the relationship between prefixes and whole-word meaning and supports them in using context clues to define vocabulary. By constructing and defining words themselves, learners practice both creativity and analytic thinking. This skill is essential for reading comprehension and decoding unfamiliar text.
