Important Background Information The assumption when attaching vowel suffixes is that marker <e >has been replaced whenever a marker <e >has the possibility of existing:
Activity to Try Write a word sum for the following words: long + er → ______________________________ run + ing→ _______________________________ cute + er → ______________________________
Key Concepts to Understand - suffix <-ful >
Activity To Try
Students are responsible for repeating the base and adding the suffix <-ful >, NOT independently decoding the base. Therefore, words with vowel teams that have not yet been taught can be used in this activity. The goal is to understand suffix <-ful >as a meaningful unit, not as something to sound out. Suggested bases:
Here are phrases that can be used for reading and/or dictation practice. These phrases can be combined to create sentences. A good opportunity arises to address syntax if the resulting sentence is not grammatically correct.
You can differentiate for your students by dropping some of the words in these phases (e.g., “the playful wren” can just be “the wren”). |
