Adding Suffixes 'tion' List 2 Presentation

The "Adding Suffixes 'tion' List 2" presentation is a comprehensive educational resource designed for Year 3 and 4 students to enhance their understanding of the suffix 'tion'. This presentation, created by KS2Gems in 2020, is a versatile tool for teachers to introduce, consolidate, and revise the spelling of words that end with 'tion'. It outlines spelling rules and provides a variety of activities tailored for whole class participation on whiteboards, or for individual or paired work. The activities are adaptable, allowing teachers to select the most appropriate method to meet the needs of their class. The intention is to help children grasp the concept of suffixes and apply the spelling rules to transform verbs into nouns, enriching their vocabulary and spelling proficiency.

The presentation includes a list of words ending in 'tion', such as 'attraction', 'election', and 'fraction', among others. It explains that a suffix is a group of letters added to a base word to adjust its usage in a sentence without necessarily changing its meaning. The 'shun' sound, represented by 'tion', is one of several spellings for this phonetic ending. Through interactive slides, students are encouraged to participate in challenges like 'Beat the Clock', where they write down as many 'tion' ending words as possible within two minutes. They are also tasked with changing verbs to nouns using the suffix 'tion', and engaging in 'Guess the word' activities that provide clues to uncover words from the spelling list. Additionally, the presentation prompts students to use a dictionary to check word meanings and construct interesting sentences or paragraphs using the words, thereby reinforcing their learning and presentation skills.
