Description: Enhance your students’ understanding of suffixes with this Boom Learning deck, perfect for 4th and 5th graders. Through three interactive activities, learners will master the rules of suffix spelling changes with hands-on practice. Activity 1: Students will type the correct spelling of words when adding -ly, applying the rule where ‘Y’ changes to ‘I’ before consonant suffixes. Activity 2: Pupils will learn how sometimes letters are dropped before a suffix is added, as they type the correct spelling for words like: gently (gentle + ly) natural (nature + al) special (species + al) awful (awe + ful) They will also explore changes to Latin roots with words like: several (separate + al) gradual (grade + -ālis + al) Activity 3: Students will match words ending with suffixes to their definitions, reinforcing their vocabulary and spelling skills. Aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), this deck supports: L.4.4.B and L.5.4.B: Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word.
