**Since students will easily be able to sort these words just by looking at
them, it is important to emphasis the meaning of each prefix (pre and fore
meaning before and post and after meaning after). Have students tell you
the definition of each word using the prefix to help them with the
definition.
**Students should think of more words that could have one of these
prefixes at the beginning and define the meaning.
