WordBits Unit 7 (Autumn) - Free Sample: Year 5 Morphology Advanced Prefixes

Try before you commit to the full term. This free sample covers Weeks 1 and 2 of WordBits Unit 7, our Year 5 Autumn morphology unit, teaching the il-/im- prefix family - deepening content first met in Unit 4 - with the same presenter notes and retrieval structure as the full 10-week unit.

Aligned to Year 3/4 statutory spelling objectives (deepened for Year 5), and to the explicit morphology teaching recommended in the DfE’s July 2025 Writing Framework.

What’s included:

• 9-slide presentation (PDF and PowerPoint/PPTX): cover slide plus teaching slides for Weeks 1-2
• Full presenter notes - linguistic background, common misconceptions, and ready-to-use pupil-facing language - built into the slides
• A Quick Start Guide to get you teaching straight away
• A full Programme Map showing how all 12 units sequence across Y3-Y6
• Not editable - locked, polished slides, so nothing shifts or breaks on any device

Built for whole-class teaching, same as the full unit. Adapting for SEND stays with you, as the person who knows your class.

Want the complete term? The full Unit 7 covers five prefixes across ten teaching weeks: il-/im-, in-/ir-, bi-/uni-, trans-, semi-/over-. Find it here
