This week, we will be focussing on adding suffixes to the ends of words to change their meaning. We will focus specifically on adding –ful, -ness, -less and –ly. To practise this rule, children should do two things. Firstly, complete the activity below by matching the root word to the correct suffix.

 

root word   suffix
success   less
meaning   ful
shy   ly
weak   ness

 

Secondly, children should now practice spelling these words (any other words that these suffixes can be added to) in their homework books.
