Suffix Reading Comprehension Passages for Fluency | Phonics Brochures

These fluency and comprehension passages are interactive, fun, and perfect for learning and reinforcing suffixes. While using each brochure, students get the opportunity to learn a new suffix and practice using that suffix in the context of reading for comprehension. Each tri-fold/brochure also incorporates a fun word work work activity.

I used the form of a brochure because my students hate worksheets! It might seem silly, but turning a flat piece of paper into a brochure adds a lot of excitement to little ones.

The STEPS….

Step 1 – Introduce the suffix

Step 2 – Read a list of words that include the suffix and the meaning of the word. Circle the suffix and underline the root/base word. Select one word and use it in a sentence.

Step 3 – Read the passage. (If using the passages in guided reading groups, have the students whisper read and help them decode as needed.)

Step 4 – Read the passage a second time and underline all of the words with the suffix.

Step 5 – Write the words from the story. Go on a word hunt to find other words.

Step 6 - Read the passage a third time and answer the comprehension questions.

Step 7 - Students retell the beginning, middle, and end of the story with words or illustrations.

Step 8 – Use a spinner (paperclip and pencil) to spin and make words with prefixes.

These activities and passages are the perfect way to engage students and promote confidence and a love for reading.
