Prefixes Meaning

How are Teachers Using the Suffixes and Prefixes Lessons?

⭐Use Year After Year

Here’s how some teachers have used these Prefix and Suffix phonics lesson plans:

• Classroom Teacher (Small Group)- Instruction for your lowest readers struggling to connect sounds to words they are reading.

• Classroom Teacher (Whole Group)- Great for warm-ups or reviewing previously taught phonics sounds.

• Homeschool - Science-Based Phonics Intervention for your struggling reader.

I use these Phonics Lessons daily. Here's how I use them...

• As a Title 1 Reading Teacher, I use these phonics lessons with all students who are not meeting their fluency goals. Once they are identified as needing phonics intervention, I use them in my small reading groups with students who are continuing to struggle with connecting phonics skills to fluently reading words.
