Word Builders: Suffix Enrichment

Help your students unlock word meanings with Word Builders!

Teaching our students about morphology, or meaningful word parts, helps our students unlock the meaning of new and increasingly sophisticated words. This packet addresses suffixes through the use of a predictable template that should be copied front to back for student use. It requires students to highlight suffixes, answer a "test question" about synonyms/antonyms, build words, search for additional words, define more complex vocabulary words featuring each suffix, sketch the meaning of a word, and categorize words by their parts of speech. A freebie has been tucked into this file to try it out with your own kiddos. :) Download the preview to check it out! Happy teaching!
