The English language contains an enormous and ever-growing number of words. Enhancing vocabulary by learning new words can seem overwhelming, but if students know the common prefixes and suffixes of English, they will learn and understand the meaning of many more words. Children of Grade II were introduced to Prefix and Suffix through a mind map. The teacher later instructed the children to draw flowers with roots and leaves. The Children drew and wrote all the root words on the root, the prefix on the leaf and the complete words on the petals. Similarly, they drew for the suffix. The children enjoyed the activity and developed a deeper understanding of the concept.
