  1. Word Study Suffixes “-ly” and “-y”

  2. Let’s start with a review: • You’ve learned about suffixes before… • Remember “-er” and “-est”? Those are suffixes! So……….What are suffixes?

  3. A Suffix is: A word part that is added to the END of a word and has a MEANING OF ITS OWN. So, you remember “er” means more than. You remember that “est” means what? That’s right…Most! So, it can be added to the word big + est = to change the meaning of big to the biggest of all!

  4. I ate this biggest sundae!

  5. There are LOTS of suffixes that we can attach to base words. You’ve mastered 2: -er and –est. Ready for 2 more? Alright, if you insist…

  6. -ly -ly by itself means “in a way that is.” Remember when I got up at 4:30am on Saturday instead of 7:30am (yes, it’s my make-believe example last time? I got up earlier, right? Well, you’d better believe I was… Sleepy!

  7. You know what I mean?

  8. So, I hit my snooze button, and grumbled. I went back to sleep. • Six minutes later at 4:36… • I hit the snooze button again, and went back to sleep… • At 4:42, the alarm rang again, and I got up. But you know how I got up?

  9. I got up… • In a way that was sleepy! I’m a bottom liner (unlike Grandma, who has the grandma version of say things). I want to say how I got up with one word. I’m going to attach a suffix to sleepy. • Here goes: • When my alarm went off, I got up, sleepily.

  10. -ly Adding –ly to my base word gives me a way to describe the way I’m doing things. Would you like another example?

  11. Remember the Birthday Remix Sundae from Coldstone Creamery? Guess how I ate it. Yes, I ate it hungrily. By the way, what spelling rule did I use to create this word? Yes, change the “y” to “i” and add –ly. (That could be a good rap)

  12. Play my rap, then make your own suffix rap in Audacity!

  13. Stop the slide show and add more examples of base words with the –ly suffix below: Save the slide show to your H: drive, then continue…

  14. What does this sentence mean? I eagerly went to see the new Star Trek movie. (Okay, I wouldn’t eagerly go. I’d go because my husband and stepson, Devyn, dragged me there). But, for the example…it means… I went to the new Star Trek movie in a way that was eager. I was “excited” to go!

  15. Here’s the next suffix: -y -y by itself means made up of or like. If I’m eating the new Volcano taco from Taco Bell, I might say that it is spicy. That means it: • Is made up of spice • Tastes like spice Okay, you know it was coming…what spelling rule did I use to create the word spicy?

  16. Spelling rule: • Spice + y – e = spicy. • What does snowy mean? • Made up of snow, or like snow. The lifeguard trudged along the foggy beach. What does foggy mean?

  17. Foggy means: Made up of fog or like fog. There was lots of fog on the beach that day. What’s the spelling rule you would use to create the word, foggy? Fog + g + y = Foggy.

  18. Try practice page 36 to practice some more with the suffixes –ly and –y.
