Converting Nouns to Verbs by Adding Suffixes Presentation

The KS2Gems presentation for Year 5 grammar focuses on the conversion of nouns into verbs through the addition of suffixes. It serves as a comprehensive resource for class teachers, offering a variety of activities that can be tailored to meet the needs of their students. The presentation is structured in sections, each containing whole-class input, paired and group activities, as well as opportunities for independent learning. The level of support provided is left to the teacher's discretion, ensuring flexibility in teaching methods.

Key components of the presentation include spelling lists with examples of nouns that can be transformed into verbs, a clear explanation of what nouns and suffixes are, and the specific suffixes (-ate, -en, -ify, -ise) that can be used for this purpose. It also outlines the rules for adding suffixes, such as changing 'y' to 'i', removing 'e' at the end of the root word, and doubling the consonant when the root has a short vowel sound. Practical exercises are provided to help students apply these rules, and the presentation concludes with answers to the activities, allowing students to check their understanding and progress.
