Adding Suffixes 'ly' List 2 Presentation

A presentation by KS2Gems from 2020 is aimed at Year 3 and Year 4 students to teach them how to add the suffix 'ly' to words. The learning objective (LO) is straightforward: to understand and apply the suffix 'ly'. The presentation provides teachers with instructions on how to introduce the word list, consolidate the spelling of the words, and revise them. The PowerPoint is versatile, allowing teachers to select the most appropriate methods to meet the needs of their class. It includes spelling rules, whole class activities for whiteboard work, and independent or paired activities that can be recorded in exercise books or on whiteboards, ensuring that the children can engage with the material in a way that suits their learning preferences.

The PowerPoint contents are comprehensive, comprising teacher instructions, the word list, spelling rules, activities, and independent exercises. It delves into what a suffix is and explains that it is a letter or group of letters added to a base word, which can modify the word's function in a sentence without necessarily changing its meaning. The presentation provides specific rules for adding 'ly' to adjectives, such as changing 'y' to 'i' when preceded by a consonant, and changing 'le' to 'ly'. Students are given the opportunity to practice these rules by changing adjectives into adverbs and rewriting sentences to include adverbs. Additional challenges include sentence and paragraph writing tasks using the new adverbs, and an anagram challenge to reinforce the spelling of the words. Each activity is designed to help students effectively grasp the concept of using the suffix 'ly' and incorporate it into their writing.
