This worksheet serves as an excellent introduction to an essential aspect of grammar: suffixes. Targeted towards fourth- and fifth-grade students, it encourages them to explore word structure by reading through a list of common suffixes and then practicing adding suffixes to words. For instance, they will learn that the word "kindness" is formed by combining the root word "kind" with the suffix "-ness." As a final step, young writers will identify suffixes in context by circling them in a reading passage. This activity offers a comprehensive approach to understanding suffixes and their role in word formation, enhancing students' language skills and writing abilities.
