This resource is perfect for busy teachers looking for a ready-to-use classroom tool. You can use this assessment as a diagnostic check at the start of a new term, a summative test following a unit on morphology, or as a helpful homework task to reinforce learning at home. Each section is carefully crafted to be clear and accessible, helping you pinpoint exactly where individual pupils might need extra support or further challenge.
Aligned with the Year 5 statutory requirements, this English prefixes and suffixes assessment year 5 core features five to seven engaging questions.

Our friendly character, Pip the bookworm, guides children through the activities, making the process feel like a fun linguistic adventure rather than a chore.
