Spelling List 26: Prefixes Pre, Mis, Non Worksheets for 3rd Grade

What your child practices

List 26 is a 3rd grade spelling list (Grade 3 in Canada) built around prefixes pre, mis, non, with 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. Inside you will find Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. Each sheet supports Common Core L.3.2f, covering capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.3.4b, working out the meaning of unknown words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 3. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.
