Prediction Quest Answer Key

Students read unfamiliar words and analyze the prefix to predict the meaning of the entire word. For each item, they write what the prefix means and then generate a complete predicted meaning for the whole word. This exercise strengthens their ability to infer meaning from word parts, which is essential for tackling complex vocabulary in reading passages. The worksheet also encourages independent thinking and supports students in developing strategies for encountering new words. By practicing with a variety of prefixes, learners gain greater confidence in morphological decoding.
