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.
