VOCABULARY BUILDER – Suffixes
No-Prep Lessons and Activities to Build Vocabulary for Grades 3-5+
A suffix is a group of letters added to the end of a word or root. The original word is called the root or base word. Knowing suffixes helps with reading, spelling, and comprehending new words.
Suffixes included in this Practice Pack are:
able, hood, ship, ment, dom, ly, ness, est, er, less, ful, ist
Each suffix is followed by its meaning with the word used in a sentence.
Example: Believable: The suffix able means capable of doing something, so believable means capable of being believed.
There are 20 activity pages in this pack, including word puzzles, crossword puzzles, word searches, stories, and comprehension activities. These packs provide a multifaceted approach to learning. Students have fun while applying the skills they are learning in a practical manner. The downloadable nature of these packs ensures accessibility and convenience, fostering independent learning at the student’s own pace.
Content promotes Social Emotional Learning. As with all Practice packs, every story involves the same group of characters with whom children soon identify such as Tiger Tuesday, his parents, his four siblings, and his pet dog Thurman and pet frog Marshmallow (who only Tiger understands). Each story is about situations children encounter at the age when they’re often learning the same phonics patterns in the classroom.
- The stories focus on decoding words with a specific pattern, vocabulary development, and comprehension.
- Thinking and writing activities strengthen decoding skills. “Do You Remember?” provides practice with reading comprehension.
- Word searches and crossword puzzles present different decoding challenges.
- Children are exposed to correct spelling and sentence syntax in “Sentence Scrambles.”
