Clip A Prefix Interactive Center
Gather some clothespins and popsicle sticks to create an interactive center! This activity adds a hands on element to rote practice with prefixes and suffixes. By using clothespins that clip to the base words, you provide students with a visual and kinesthetic way to add a prefix to a base word.
