This title is a terrific introduction to simple prefixes and suffixes for young readers. Easy-to-read sentences about sports, alongside supporting photographs, show how prefixes and suffixes change the meaning of words. Kids will enjoy the fun and simple illustrated rhyming story, The Unknown Ballplayer, which reinforces the word building concept. A multiple-choice quiz is also included. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Super Sandcastle is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.

      PreS-K-Multiple examples and ways to use new words make this series a strong selection. Each volume opens by defining "word building," "prefix," and "suffix" and then moves into constructing words. For example, a spread in School shows how "health" can become "unhealthy" and "healthiest." Sample sentences appear along alongside color stock photographs. A bright sidebar explains each prefix and suffix as well as grammar rules or more words. A concluding story provides further context for the new language. "Match It Up!" quizzes deliver opportunities for readers to fill (but not write) in the blanks with the correct word choices. Because the same suffixes and prefixes are used in most of the books, picking and choosing individual volumes might be a more economic choice.
