A prefix is a group of letters attached to the beginning of a root or word (or

even group of words) serving to modify and/or extend meaning.

Prefixes generally have an easily understood meaning in and of themselves,

which they apply to the root word to which they are affixed. Learning about

prefixes early on is important in that it greatly improves reading

comprehension at all levels.

use context and etymological clues, allowing them to make educated

guesses about the meaning of unfamiliar words. Which will be very useful

in your word knowledge subtest.
