Those are called

“prefixes”

A prefix is an affix which is

placed before the stem of a
word. Adding it to the beginning
of one word changes it into
another word.

Examples of prefixes are:

Re-
Un-
Dis-
Over-
Mid-
Pre-
 If we add ‘re’ in the word
‘plant’, the meaning of the root
word ‘plant’ changes,

Replant means to plant again,

because the word ‘re’ means
‘again’ while the prefix Un- and
Dis- means ‘NOT’ or the Yes teacher!
opposite. Is that clear?

Do you know how butterflies exist?
Okay, today we will read a story
which entitles “The Origin of
Butterflies” Follow me, as I read the
story.

The Origin of Butterflies

There once lived an old woman on the

shore of Laguna de Bay. She had a
large garden where vegetables and
flowers grew. At a little distance from
her house was a small barangay where
fishermen and their families lived. The
people often visited the old woman.
 When they visited her, they would
bring her fish and the old woman
would give them vegetables and
flowers in exchange for fish.
The people believed that the old
woman was a fairy. They never saw
her working in her garden at daytime.
But every night her house was lighted
with a small lamp. In this strange light
the people thought that they could see
a beautiful woman and many drwarfs.
They believed that the old woman was
a fairy during the night and the dwarfs
were workers in her garden.
One day, two strangers came to their
barangay. They were a young man and
woman who seemed to be very proud.
They said they did not like anything
that was ugly or unpleasant. They
liked to see only things that are
beautiful…

What is the lesson of the story?

We need to respect our elders.
Yes. That’s right. Very good!

D. After the Lesson

a. Generalization

Very Good! with prefixes

What is Prefix and

what are the examples of prefixes or words with
prefixes? (The pupils will answer)

A prefix is an affix which

is
placed before the stem of
a word.
Adding it to the beginning
of one
word changes it into
 another
word. Examples of
prefixes are
“re,un and dis”…..

That’s right! Very Good

b. Application

to find some words with prefixes from the story
“Origin of the Butterfly” and let’s try to analyse the
