Lesson Details
Key learning points
- A prefix is a letter or group of letters at the start of a word which creates another word.
- The prefix 'un-' is added to the beginning of a word without changing the spelling of the root word.
- The prefix 'un-' usually means not.

Explicitly show how the spelling of the root word stays the same when the prefix is added.
