🔺 Triangle – Supported level
Learners circle prefixes in complete words, sort words into prefix groups and match familiar words with their meanings. The complete words and visual matching format provide greater support.
⚪ Circle – Developing level
Learners select sub- or inter- to complete 15 words, match vocabulary with definitions and choose suitable words from a word bank to complete sentences.
⬜ Square – More challenging level
Learners complete the same 15 prefix words, apply vocabulary in contextual sentences and independently identify nine words from their meanings. This level reduces scaffolding and requires greater vocabulary recall.
🎓 Curriculum and assessment relevance
