About this worksheet
“Prefixes and Suffixes” is sheet 14 of 32 in our free 3rd Grade Grammar & Vocabulary Worksheets collection, written for children aged 8–9. It focuses on word parts.
In the set it comes after “Possessive Nouns” and before “Synonyms, Antonyms and Shades of Meaning”. Working through them in that order, one sheet a day, builds the skill a step at a time.

Children work on working out what unknown words mean from context clues, prefixes, suffixes and root words.
How to use this worksheet
- 1
Read each sentence aloud before choosing. Ears catch “the children runs” faster than eyes do.
- 2
Use your child’s own writing for a follow-up: finding one compound sentence or one possessive in their journal makes the rule stick.
- 3
On the synonym sheet, act out the “weakest to strongest” words — whisper, talk, shout — to feel the difference in meaning.
