Description
How to Teach Suffixes
A suffix is a word part added to the end of a base word to change its meaning, like the -ful in helpful or the -less in fearless. These suffix flash cards give students a clear, colorful way to learn 24 common suffixes, what each one means and a real example word. Once children know what a suffix means, they can figure out new words in their reading and choose stronger words in their writing.
Each card is a fold-over card: the suffix is on the front and its meaning and an example word are inside, so no double-sided printing is needed. Print the sheets one-sided, fold each sheet on the center line and cut on the dashed lines. Students read the suffix, say what they think it means, then open the card to check. Use the set for partner practice, small groups, a word wall or a literacy center. The suffix meaning flash cards start with the easy endings young readers meet first (-s, -es, -ed, -ing) and build up to -tion, -ous, -ible and -ic for older students, so one set works from kindergarten through 4th grade. A 2nd grade practice worksheet and answer keys are included.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep steps and simple directions
- 24 fold-over suffix cards on eight sheets, each with the suffix, its meaning and an example word
- A practice worksheet: write the suffix that finishes each word
- An answer key for all 24 cards and an answer key for the practice worksheet
Here are three reasons these cards help kids. First, seeing the suffix alone on the front helps students notice word parts instead of guessing at whole words. Second, the example word inside each card shows the suffix doing its job in a real word, which makes the meaning stick. Third, the practice page asks students to use what they learned by building new words from a meaning.
Teachers and parents can extend the fun by hanging the cards on a word wall, sorting them by meaning (the suffixes that mean full of, or one who), or sending students on a hunt for suffix words in a favorite book. These suffix flash cards pair well with the resources below.
