Suffixes

This week we are working with suffixes as our phonics skill.  Suffixes come at the end of root words. 

For example:
slower (slow is the root word; -er is the suffix)
It’s helpful to have a good understanding of what prefixes and suffixes are. Knowing their meanings and when they are generally used can help you figure out unknown words and can also help make your writing better. If you need to review what these are, or learn their meanings, online practice can be very helpful.

Try playing these suffix games to practice:
