Fabulous Affixes gives Year 2 teachers a complete sequence for introducing morphemes and helping students build word families with prefixes and suffixes.

The editable teaching presentation moves from base words to common prefix and suffix meanings, then models how students can split, build and explain affixed words. Colour display, sorting and game materials make the concepts visible and practical. Eight low-ink worksheet pages provide sequenced independent practice, with ten matching answer pages across the worksheet and assessment sets.

The unit concludes with an editable 10-question quiz, a two-part Affix Architects Assessment and a five-level rubric. Use the sequence across a focused week of English lessons or select individual components for literacy rotations, small-group support, intervention and revision.
