Grade 2 students meet two brand-new affixes in this worksheet: the prefix mis- (meaning wrong) and the suffix -ly (meaning in a way). They sort mis- words like misplace, misread, and misspell from -ly words like quickly, slowly, and happily, fill in blanks with the right mis- or -ly word, and answer true or false questions that confirm what each affix means and where it belongs in a word.
