Adding Suffixes 'ous' List 2 Presentation

The presentation titled "Adding Suffixes 'ous' List 2" is an educational resource aimed at Year 3 and 4 students, focusing on spelling words that end in 'ous'. It serves as a comprehensive tool for teachers to introduce, consolidate, and revise these spellings. The PowerPoint includes teacher instructions, which suggest various methods of utilising the slides to cater to the class's needs. It sets out spelling rules, such as changing nouns ending in 'f' to 'v' before adding 'ous' or dropping the 'u' from words ending in 'our'. Activities encourage students to apply these rules, either working independently, in pairs, or small groups, and to record their answers in exercise books or on whiteboards.

The resource is structured to facilitate learning through various engaging activities. These include changing nouns into adjectives, choosing the correct spelling of 'ous' words in sentences, and using a dictionary to check meanings and construct sentences. There are challenges such as writing interesting sentences and paragraphs using the 'ous' words, and an anagram challenge where students unscramble letters to form words from the provided spelling list. Answers are provided for self-assessment. The presentation is designed to help students understand the suffix 'ous', which typically indicates being full of or having the qualities of the root word, and to improve their spelling and vocabulary skills.
