Learning about prefixes can be a fun literacy lesson for middle school students. These mats will help your students learn by turning these lessons into movement-based prefix activities. Students in 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade will love jumping around these floor mats.

Each mat includes a unique set of prefixes. Each block on the mat includes the prefix, its meaning, an an example word. The large, kid-friendly text and colorful design will keep young learners interested and engaged in learning.
