In this episode of The Education Connection, Robin Wilson shares simple and effective ways to teach prefixes and suffixes in first grade without overcomplicating the skill.

If teaching prefix and suffix feels tricky with young learners, this episode breaks it down into clear, manageable steps that help students understand how words change. Robin explains what prefixes and suffixes are in a first grade-friendly way and walks through how to introduce them so students can actually apply the skill.

You’ll also hear 3 easy phonics activities that can be used right away in the classroom or at home:

• Matching base words like happy, jump, and play with new words
• Acting out words to build meaning and engagement
• Sorting words to identify prefixes, suffixes, and base words

These prefix and suffix activities for first grade are designed to build confidence, increase vocabulary, and help students start recognizing patterns in words.

As always, this episode ends with a scripture and prayer to encourage and support teachers in their daily work.

Whether teaching in a classroom, tutoring, or working with children at home, this episode will give practical ideas for teaching first grade phonics in a simple and meaningful way.
