Teacher Guide & Tips
- Introduce the reference box first, reading the mis- and dis- definitions and examples aloud so students hear the meaning before matching.
- Discussion question: How does adding mis- to a word like understand change its meaning, and how is that different from adding dis- to like?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pre-teach the base words (spell, like, treat) and let students work with a partner or use a picture cue for each term.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write two new words using mis- or dis- and define each in a complete sentence.
- Estimated time: About 15 to 20 minutes for the matching task, plus 5 minutes for a whole-class check.
