Adding Suffixes 'ly' List 3 Presentation
English Resource Description
The educational resource provided by KS2Gems in 2020 aims to assist Year 3 and Year 4 students in learning how to add the suffix 'ly' to words. The presentation is designed to introduce the word list to students, help consolidate their spelling knowledge, and provide revision material. The PowerPoint includes teacher instructions which outline various ways the presentation can be used to cater to the diverse needs of the class. Activities for whole class engagement are suggested, where students can work on whiteboards either individually or collaboratively. The presentation also offers independent or paired activities that students can record in an exercise book or on whiteboards, allowing educators to select activities that best suit their students' learning requirements.
The PowerPoint contains a spelling list with two sections, A and B, featuring words that can be transformed by adding 'ly' to form adverbs, such as 'artistically' and 'wholly'. It explains what a suffix is and how it can change the grammatical function of a base word without altering its meaning, providing examples to illustrate this point. Specific spelling rules are detailed, including the addition of 'ally' to words ending in 'ic', and the presentation notes exceptions to the rules that students must remember. Interactive exercises encourage students to convert adjectives into adverbs and rewrite sentences using the new adverbs. Additionally, the resource challenges students to use a dictionary to check meanings and construct sentences or paragraphs that are both coherent and engaging, further embedding the learning. Anagram challenges round off the presentation, offering a fun and interactive way to reinforce the spelling of words from the provided list.
