Suffixes

Goal

Inflections and Affixes

We will introduce some common suffixes. This activity will help students understand that suffixes are added to the end of words and change their meanings.

  • Download & print the PDF below (If you'd like to show it on the screen, that sounds great, too.)


Teachers

  • Please review the anchor chart with the students and assist them in reading the printout.

  • Please encourage students to share any words with suffixes they know.


Common Core
