Phonics and Spelling • Suffixes are word parts added to the ends of root words. • Suffixes change the meaning of the root word. • Turn to Student Edition page 84 and let’s review the definitions of the suffixes on that page. • On the next slide we are going to read each root word and give its meaning. Then, we will name the word that would be made by adding the suffix listed and determine the meaning of the new word.

Phonics and Spelling • When the suffix –er or –est is added to a word with a final e, the final e is dropped. • For example, nice + er = nicer • When these suffixes are added to root words that end with a short-vowel CVC pattern, the final consonant is doubled. • For example, big + est = biggest • In words that end in y, the y changes to i before a suffix is added. • For example, happy + er = happier
