About this resource
This quiz focuses on prefixes, a fundamental component of English morphology that fourth-grade students must master to build their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. The questions systematically assess students' understanding of common prefixes including "re-" (again), "un-" (not/opposite), "pre-" (before), "post-" (after), "dis-/de-" (opposite/reverse), "mis-" (wrong/bad), "multi-" (many), "in-/im-" (not/into), and "non-" (not). Students need to demonstrate their ability to identify prefix meanings, recognize how prefixes modify root words, distinguish between prefixes and root words within compound structures, and apply contextual understanding to determine word meanings. The complexity level requires students to move beyond simple memorization to practical application, as they must analyze words like "repay," "unbelievable," and "multivitamin" within meaningful contexts and complete cloze passages that demand both prefix knowledge and reading comprehension skills. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying English language arts in grades 3-4. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a formative assessment tool to gauge student progress in morphological awareness, a targeted review activity before summative evaluations, or structured practice to reinforce prefix instruction through both isolated skill work and contextual application. Teachers can implement this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it as independent homework to extend classroom learning, or use it during guided practice sessions to identify students who need additional support with word analysis strategies. The quiz aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.4.B, which requires students to use common Greek and Latin affixes and roots as clues to word meaning, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.4.3.A, which focuses on using combined knowledge of letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology to read accurately.
