Grade 3 English Language Arts · Prefixes, Suffixes and Roots
Build Grade 3 vocabulary skills with five 10-question practice tests on prefixes, suffixes, roots, word parts, and word meaning.
These Grade 3 English Language Arts practice tests help students use word parts to understand unfamiliar vocabulary. Students identify prefixes at the beginning, suffixes at the end, and roots or base parts that carry a word’s central meaning.
Separate the word into parts and ask what each part contributes. A prefix usually changes the beginning meaning, a suffix can change the word’s job or meaning, and the root often gives the central idea.
