Sophomore Suffix, Prefix and Root List
Instructions: Please find the meaning of these Root/Suffix/Prefix words and list them here. (Most of
these can be found in the Writers INC book with the definition usually in brackets [ ].) List 3 words using
these roots etc. You are also required to make flash cards (cardstock not just lined paper) for each
word with the root on one side and the definition on the other. On the side with the definition, you
need to list the 3 words that use that prefix, suffix or root word in them. (A dictionary is a great tool for
this.) For the quiz you will be required to give meanings as well as list and define one word that uses the
specific root/prefix/suffix.
