In this activity, pupils will join Max the monkey, our resident maths and logic expert, as he solves word puzzles to help him organise his collection of items. By exploring how adding prefixes like dis-, re-, and mis-, or suffixes such as -ation, -ous, and -ify can change the meaning of root words, children will improve their spelling accuracy and vocabulary breadth.
