Grade 3 Quiz Determining the Meaning of New Words Formed by Adding Known Affixes – L.3.4.B

The standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.4.B focuses on enhancing third-grade students’ vocabulary and comprehension skills by understanding the impact of affixes. An affix is a group of letters added to the beginning or end of a word to change its meaning. This standard underscores the importance of recognizing the meaning when a known prefix or suffix is attached to a familiar word. For instance, by knowing the word “agree” and the prefix “dis-“, students can deduce the meaning of “disagree.”
