Morphology Matters
FREE – A List of Affixes
These free downloadable affix reference charts are intended to support your word study with students. They do not contain an exhaustive list. Through your investigations of words I hope you will encounter more affixes and attest them with your students. Add them to your list! Always remember that just because a letter or group of letters can function as an affix it does not mean it will in every word, as <re> is not a prefix in red, and nor is <ing> a suffix in king. Determining an affix includes thinking about the meaning of the word and identifying the base.
The affixes have example words to illustrate their usage. When there are two example words, this indicates the affix has different usages it would be helpful to study.
