Build Vocabulary. Strengthen Comprehension. Teach Meaning.
Students can decode words but comprehension breaks down when they don’t understand what those words mean.
Our Prefix & Suffix Magnets give students a clear, hands-on way to understand how word parts change meaning and build academic vocabulary. Designed for explicit, Science of Reading aligned morphology instruction, these magnets make prefixes and suffixes visible, concrete, and teachable. They can be used with any curriculum.
This set includes all 20 of the most common prefixes and suffixes used in English, helping students unlock meaning, decode complex words, and strengthen comprehension.
This is the missing link between phonics and true reading comprehension.
