Prefix dis-, non-, un-, re- quiz is a free Grade 4 English printable worksheet that helps students determine how common prefixes change the meanings of familiar words. Across 16 multiple-choice questions, students use sentence context to identify meanings such as discontinued as “not continue,” nonfiction as “not fiction,” unpleasant as “not pleasant,” and reexamine as “examine again.” The quiz groups examples by prefix and asks students to distinguish closely related answer choices, making it useful for vocabulary instruction, independent practice, review, or a quick formative assessment. Students build word-analysis skills by connecting dis-, non-, and un- with meanings involving “not,” then recognizing re- as “again” in words such as reassemble and reconfigure. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key for efficient checking and feedback.

This Grade 4 English worksheet covers using the prefixes dis-, non-, un-, and re- to determine the meanings of words in sentence context. Its 16 multiple-choice items ask students to match words such as disqualified, nonviolent, uncertain, and reassemble with precise definitions, helping them distinguish “not” meanings from the “again” meaning of re-.
Introduce each prefix with a few examples, emphasizing that dis-, non-, and un- often signal “not,” while re- signals “again.” Then have students solve the worksheet’s grouped multiple-choice items, explain why an answer fits the sentence, and discuss how reexamine, reassemble, and reconfigure retain the idea of repeating an action.
Students may choose a broadly related distractor instead of the exact prefix meaning, such as selecting “not approve” for disqualified rather than “not qualify.” They may also treat re- as “not” or overlook the repeated-action meaning in reexamine, reassemble, and reconfigure; ask them to separate the prefix from the base word before choosing an answer.
You can assign the Prefix dis-, non-, un-, re- quiz as a printable PDF or as a digital quiz on Wayground. It includes a complete answer key, and printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the 16 multiple-choice items easier to read. You can also apply a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping its prefix-meaning practice intact.
