Notes to the teacher: An understanding of common prefixes and suffixes can increase a student’s comprehension more quickly than learning individual words in isolation. This series of books is organized around groups of prefixes or suffixes that deal with common themes. Book 1 focuses on nouns made with suffixes that indicate a function, role, or relationship. The nouns can be people or objects that perform a par-ticular function. In Unit 1, a liar is a person who lies; a blender is an object that blends; a sailor is a person who sails. In Unit 2, an Alaskan is a person from Alaska; a historian is a person who studies history; a Puerto Rican is a person from Puerto Rico. In Unit 3, a colorant is a substance that colors; a president is a person who presides. In Unit 4, a pianist is a person who plays the piano. In Unit 5, an evacuee is a person who has been evacuated.

At the outset, it may be helpful to give a basic presentation of the 8 parts of speech and their func-tions in English sentences. Often a prefix or suffix will be added to a word that is one part of speech in order to change it into another part of speech. (A person who teaches [verb] is a teacher [noun].) Eventually the students will need to understand this concept well enough to use the newly formed words properly in sentences.

Each unit follows a similar format:

1. The suffix is introduced. An effective way to do this would be to think of words that students may already know and lead them to discover the pattern and meaning. (What does a teacher do? What does the pencil sharpener do? What does a bus driver do? What does a lawn mower do? What do these words have in common? [same ending sound] What does the ‘er’ indicate?) An alternate intro-ductory activity where students match word pairs is also provided.

2. The first page of the unit can be filled out together in class. A teacher can either elicit informal definitions of the words, or provide them for the students. It might be helpful to write them on the board or an overhead to insure that students are writing down accurate information (actor- a person who acts; baker, a person who bakes). If desired, students can also include both word parts (bake + r = baker).

3. The second page with a list of common words that contain the suffix can be discussed with the class. Students can share words that they’ve heard or teachers can ask questions. (Does anyone in your house have a shaver? What does that person do with the shaver? Is there a toaster in your kitchen? What does the toaster do?) The teacher should point out any unusual information, such as the need to drop a letter (educate / educator – the ‘e’ is dropped before ‘or’ is added) or double a consonant. (run/runner – run needs another ‘n’ before ‘er’ is added.) Once students see how com-mon the suffix is, they are more apt to recognize the value of learning it. Once they have understood the pattern, they will begin to notice words containing the suffix in conversation and/or print with a deeper understanding of how the English language functions.

4. The practices are designed to give students a structured opportunity to change a word to a new word with the suffix under consideration. There are 4 practice sets of 3 pages with increasing levels of difficulty. The first page of practice gives Cloze Sentences with context clues to guide the selec-tion (from a word bank) of the appropriate root word that needs to be combined with the suffix and inserted. In the last two pages, the students are asked to restate a sentence giving the same infor-mation in such a way that they can use the new suffix with one of the words in the original sentence. The words to be changed are underlined in Part A of each practice, but in Part B the students are asked to determine on their own which words to change. Each of the 4 sets follows this pattern. All of the words to be changed are included on the list found on the second page of each unit, so stu-dents will always be able to refer to the list to see which words in the practice sentences can be combined with the suffix.



Accept any answer that meets the guidelines. (Sam bakes pies and cakes. / Sam is a baker.) Teach-ers can choose how many of the sets to use, and which pages best meet the needs of a particular student or class. They can be used in their entirety or in any combination. The Cloze activities rein-force comprehension while the other pages give a structured opportunity to practice writing correct sentences. 5. Most units contain 3 games that can be used to reinforce the use of the suffix. Dominoes — The Domino Page should be laminated and then cut ONCE down the center white line, and then across EVERY horizontal line, forming small rectangles that contain a word ending and a word beginning. This game works well with 2-3 individuals or teams. A teacher could choose to make enough copies of the game for each pair of students. One domino is placed face up and then students take turns adding strips at either end to make words. The teacher can also require that the words be used in sentences. If small groups are playing without supervision, the teacher can ask the pairs of students to record their words or sentences on a paper to be turned in. Students can decide in advance what shape they’d like to make with the dominoes. (circle, oval, rectangle, house, car). If students have matched the dominoes correctly, they will form an enclosed shape using all of the segments. At the end of the book there may be domino games that combine suffixes from several units. Four in a Row — Students attempt to claim 4 adjacent squares in any direction (horizontal, vertical, diagonal). Other students attempt to block them. This game works well for 2-4 students or teams. Students/teams take turns trying to claim a square by adding a suffix to the word in the square. They can be asked to spell the word and/or use it in a sentence as well. They can then place a marker or their initials on the square and no one else can claim the square. Each person/team gets a turn to claim one square on the grid. Play continues as students attempt to connect 4 squares in a straight line, or block opponents until some student/team succeeds in forming a straight line with 4 adjacent squares. The page can be laminated for reuse with a dry-erase pen. Colored buttons or paper markers can be used on a page, or the page could be turned into a transparency for an over-head projector. Teams could easily use this format. At the end of the book there may be ‘Four in a Row’ games that combine suffixes from several units. Suffix Strut—Students draw cards with words to which suffixes can be added. Correct answers allow them to move along a rectangular path containing pitfalls which need to be avoided. Cards from previous units can be added if desired. 5. Each unit has a quiz. 7. Answer Keys are provided for the Student Practice Exercises. These are not the only possible correct responses, but they are usually the most obvious. Any sentence is to be accepted that cor-rectly uses the underlined word in the answer key sentence while conveying the meaning in the original sentence. 8. At the end of the book, there are combined review and assessment pages which deal with all of the units in the book. The Suffix Strut game can be used with shuffled cards from all of the units. The unit numbers can be removed from the cards if a higher level of difficulty is desired where students will have to decide unaided which suffix to use with the word on the card that they have drawn. Make a copy of the game cards in question. White out the numbers and recopy, laminate, and cut out.

Suffix Strut Board Game

On the next page you will find the playing board for the Suffix Strut Board Game. The playing cards will be included with each unit. Copy (and laminate if desired) the game board and cards. Cut out each individual card. The cards will be shuffled and stacked face down in the center of the board as indicated. After completing Unit 1, teachers can either use just the cards for a particular unit, or combine the unit cards with all previous cards. (The unit number is included on the card for ease of sorting after cards have been combined. If teachers don’t want the number showing on the card (It will help students decide which suffix to use rather than force them to remember.) They can make an extra copy of the cards, white out the numbers and then recopy before laminating and cutting.

Directions: Players race around the track by making new words that contain a suffix joined to the word on the card that has been drawn. Depending on the degree of difficulty desired, players can be asked to spell the new word. They can also be asked to use the word in a sentence. 1. Players roll a die. Even numbers move a player forward 2 spaces;

odd numbers move a player 1 space. If a player lands on a ‘Lose a turn’ square, that turn ends (before drawing a card). Players that land on any other squares draw cards from the pile. They make new words with suffixes and spell the new words and/or use them in sentences. [(catch) ‘c-a-t-c-h-e-r ... Bill is a catcher.’]

2. A player can move one space for a correct spelling, and another

space for a correct sentence. 3. The first player to reach the finish line wins.

Suffix Dominoes Copy and laminate this page. Cut once down the center along the dotted line. Cut each horizontal row in the middle of the white dividing stripes. These pieces become “dominoes” with a paired ending and beginning for a word made with the suffix. Students can begin with 5 dominoes and take turns constructing some sort of shape (circle, rectangle, house, car) by forming correctly spelled words. At first they can be allowed to view the page with all of the words formed with the suffix.
