Word Wall for Early Elementary Roots and Affixes

Students will identify, remember, and use common affixes with this collection of illustrated word wall cards for prefixes and suffixes. I based this selection of affixes on the Common Core Standards for grades K-3 and on suggestions provided by several school districts.

This bundle is a mini version of my mega-bundle of illustrated roots and affixes that I've been using in my classroom for years: Greek & Latin Roots Word Wall. Each card displays an affix, it's English meaning, three or more examples, and an illustration to clarify it's meaning.

The prefixes and suffixes covered are...

1. a- (on)
2. bi-, du- (two)
3. co-, col-, com-, con- (together)
4. dis- (away, apart, negative)
5. in-, il-, im-, ir- (not)
6. mis- (wrongly)
7. pre- (before or first)
8. re- (back or again)
9. syl-, sym-, syn-, sys- (same)
10. un- (not, opposite of, without)
11. -able (able to be; suitable for being; causing.)
12. -ed (past tense)
13. -er, -or (someone who)
14. -er (more than)
15. -est (the most)
16. -ful (full of)
17. -ing (action or process)
18. -less (without)
19. -ly (in a certain way)
20. -ness (the state or condition of)
21. -ous (full of)
22. -s, -es (more than one)
23. -y (made up of, full of)
