Prefixes: spelling bee words

Words with a part added to the front that changes the meaning: unhappy, redo, disagree, preview, misspell, impossible.

Bee Practice says each word, then a sentence where there is one, and you pick the right spelling from three boxes. No typing. Two first-try rights and a word is spelled for good on this device. Running a bee? Pronouncer mode shows each word for a grown-up to read, and prints cards.

Prefixes

A prefix joins the front of a word and keeps every letter of both, so misspell has two s's and unnatural has two n's.
