Spotlight on Suffixes - Book One
Book One - Common Suffixes and Suffixing Rules
Activities on spelling skills and language awareness to complement structured literacy programmes (especially National Literacy Strategy Years One to Five and Special Needs).
The 75 worksheets in Spotlight on Suffixes - Book One introduce the most common suffixes in English in a systematic manner, focusing on both the grammatical function of the suffx and the spelling rules concerning the joining of the suffixes to base words. Suffixes which can be pronounced differently according to context such at the '-ed' past tense verb ending are highlighted for special practice.
The more common suffixes have worksheets at two levels of difficulty allowing for differentiated work within mixed ability classrooms. Spelling skills are thus very much linked to grammatical awareness and, by completing the worksheets, students will also extend their vocabulary and knowledge of word derivations.
The worksheets are a useful complement to any structured literacy programme, improving spelling skills as well as raising language awareness in general, particularly in the area of grammar and word meanings. Teachers will find the material in this book very useful especially for pupils from Years 1 to 5 (or Key Stages 1 to 2) and Special Needs, particularly for differentiated work when implementing the National Literacy Strategy.
The clear and uncluttered layout of the worksheets will also make them an ideal resource for Special Needs teachers working in the field of literacy with pupils of all ages. The comprehensive coverage of the subject is completed through additional appendices, word lists and detailed Teachers Notes and Guidelines.
