📝 What is a Prefix?
A
prefix is a group of letters added to the beginning of a word that changes its meaning. The
root word is the core part of the word that carries the main meaning. The
meaning column explains what the whole word means based on the prefix + root.

## 💡 Remember (as the worksheet says):
> “The prefix (or the flower) can change… but the root always stays the same!”
This is a fun way to remember:
- The
root word (like “happy”, “start”, “spell”) stays the same.
- The
prefix (like “un-”, “re-”, “mis-”) changes the meaning.
