This printable vocabulary worksheet for 8th graders covers word families through three activities: identifying prefixes in a paragraph about a missing sock, adding prefixes to complete sentences (dis-, un-, mis-, anti-, sub-, inter-, pre-), and forming words with suffixes. Students also write a paragraph incorporating both prefixes and suffixes. Useful for vocabulary development, grammar review, or independent practice on word formation.
