The Word Work Assessments were created to assess students’ knowledge of word parts and their meaning of the words used in Month by Month Word Study from Prefixes, Suffixes, and Roots and/or The Word Work Interactive Notebook for Prefixes and Suffixes.

Each assessment is centered around the word parts for a specific target word. Word parts are applied to additional words where students will provide definitions, break apart words, use words in sentences, and make new real or nonsense words.

There are a total of 47 word assessments and corresponding answer keys.
