Adding Suffixes Beginning with a Vowel List 2 Presentation

This comprehensive presentation, created by KS2Gems in 2020, is aimed at Year 3 and 4 students learning to add vowel suffixes to multi-syllable words. The presentation provides a structured approach to understanding and applying spelling rules associated with adding suffixes such as 'est', 'er', 'ing', and 'ed'. It begins with an explanation of what a suffix is, followed by detailed instructions on when to double consonants at the end of words, with an emphasis on words ending with 'l'. For instance, 'cancel' becomes 'cancelled' when the suffix 'ed' is added. The presentation is designed to be interactive, encouraging students to practice spelling on their whiteboards and to engage in individual or group activities that can be recorded in exercise books or on whiteboards.

The resource is not only practical but also educational, as it includes a variety of challenges to test the students' understanding and retention of the material. These challenges range from simple spelling exercises to more complex tasks such as writing sentences or paragraphs using the words correctly. Additionally, there is an anagram challenge where students must unscramble letters to form words from the provided list. The correct answers are revealed to ensure comprehension and to help students learn from their mistakes. This presentation is a versatile tool for teachers to introduce, consolidate, and revise the rules of adding vowel suffixes to words in an engaging and effective manner.
