What is a suffix in structural analysis?

Understanding Structural Analysis. A suffix is a letter or group of letters that come at the end of a word and change its meaning. Suffixes can indicate how a word is being used grammatically and what tense is being used. For instance, the word close becomes closed when you add the suffix 'd' to show that the action already took place and is over.

The Orton-Gillingham method teaches the concept of the "magic e" using a blending board as well as several other kinesthetic options. They typically teach it by having the students line up with letters of a word (for example "c" "a" "n" and "e") and the person with the magic e has a wand to reach over and touch the vowel.

# data[].attributes.body
An open syllable is simply a syllable that ends in a long vowel. (That means the vowel says its name just as you sing it in the alphabet song.)

# data[].attributes.body
A prefix is a syllable or group of syllables added to the beginning of a word or a root word stem to alter its meaning. Prefixes can add complexity to the English language and make it possible to create new words that are easily understood by readers.

1. High frequency sight words are commonly used words that young children are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so that they can automatically recognize these words in print without having to use any strategies to decode.
2. Arm tapping - Reading the sight word on a visible flash card while also tapping your fingers up your arm as you spell it out. Have the student copy your motions.
3. You greatly increase the odds of getting the word into the student’s long-term memory. Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic feedback work together to reinforce the knowledge of each new word.
This strategy also helps students identify the individual phonemes of each word.

Adult: Let’s arm-tap the word.             My turn. Ready? SAID. S-A-I-D. SAID.             Again: SAID. S-A-I-D. SAID.             Your turn. Ready? Child: SAID. S-A-I-D. SAID. Adult: Again. Child: SAID. S-A-I-D. SAID. Adult: One more time. Child: SAID. S-A-I-D. SAID. Adult: Good job!

These strategies use different ways of learning to engage the student. Visually students are able to see the words and letters. Auditory students can hear the sounds and blend them to hear the words. Kinesthetic students are using their hands to write, or use different materials to write out the words.

Middle school students love friendly competition, and word games can be an ideal context to help them study the meaning, structure, and spelling of words. In this lesson, students practice analyzing word meanings by learning root words and affixes. They work in a variety of ways with a list of about 20 common but challenging words to learn the definition and spelling of each. Then they get in small groups to design and play the Make-a-Word card game, during which they must form complete words with three cards: a prefix, a root word, and a suffix. This strategy will benefit all learners by providing visual, auditory, kinesthetic learners opportunities to learn. In addition, it is teaching spelling and comprehension.

As you well know, your students need to have a clear understanding of prefixes and suffixes, but often these concepts (especially suffixes!) can be tricky to teach. Of course your activities need to be related to the standard, but you also want them to be fun! But don't worry, we've got you covered. This post is your one-stop shop for effective and engaging lessons that will teach, reinforce, and review these concepts with your students.

Create a Word Tree Bulletin Board With Prefixes and Suffixes

After introducing or reviewing the concept, create a prefix/base/suffix word tree - basically a tree made from butcher paper with a large trunk and branches to the left and the right. This will provide a visual of the position that prefixes and suffixes have around a base word. First, the base words on the tree trunk to show that is the main part of the word.

Then, make a list of all of the prefixes that could go with that base word. Put those to the left of the base word to demonstrate the fact that prefixes come before the base word.

Finally, brainstorm a list of suffixes and place them to the right of the base word. The placement will remind students that suffixes go after the base word.

Students can always refer back to this tree if it is left in the room throughout the unit, and practice making words using the lists developed.

Use a Picture Book and Anchor Chart

A great way to introduce or review the concept of prefixes, suffixes, and base words is to read the class a picture book. Some recommended books are Pre- and Re-, Mis- and Dis- What is a Prefix by Brian P. Cleary. A book that focuses on suffixes is Happy Endings: A Story About Suffixes by Robin Pulver.

While reading the stories, stop and discuss the various prefixes and suffixes, and develop an anchor chart listing examples. Also, be sure to discuss how prefixes and suffixes change the base word. Please note that these are Amazon Affiliate links.

Anchor Charts

Make anchor charts with your students to show how prefixes and suffixes are used. If you are not sure where to begin or just need some tips on making anchor charts, check out Anchor Chart Intervention! Secrets to Making Effective AND Well-Designed Anchor Charts by Michael Friermood.

Use Boom Cards

If you haven't used the Boom Learning™ app in your class, you and your students are missing out! Boom cards allow you to integrate traditional task cards with technology. It feels like your students are playing the coolest new game, but they're taking part in high-quality educational activities. This is a low-prep app that allows you to assign cards and review student progress easily.

You can create your own Boom Cards or choose from a pre-created set. I developed a set of cards that will help your students review suffixes.

Prefix and Suffix of the Week

Throughout the school year, choose one prefix and suffix to review each week. Try to use it as much as possible in writing and speaking. Consider putting a tally in the corner of the board to track each time you or one of your students uses the word.

Sort on a Whiteboard or Pocket Chart

Provide students with a variety of words that have prefixes and suffixes. They can then sort the words into the "prefix" column, "suffix" column, or "both" column, and discuss how the meaning of the base word changes based on the prefixes and suffixes used.

This activity can be done via a high-tech SMART board program or with a simple pocket chart.

Scavenger Hunt

This activity can be completed whole group, small group, or individually.

Give the entire class one prefix/suffix to look for, or provide each group/person with their own.

Students will search for their prefix/suffix using text made available to them which can include books, magazines, posters, newspapers, etc. Students can make a list of the found words and then discuss them - what the words mean and how the prefix or suffix changed the meaning of the base word. Other activities include using the words in sentences or short stories, putting them in alphabetical order, finding synonyms and antonyms, and looking unknown words up in the dictionary.

Printables

While we certainly don't want our students doing worksheets constantly, they can be an excellent way to practice, and some types of learners really do prefer practicing skills with worksheets. I created these Prefix, Suffix, and Roots Printables to be a clear and effective way to reinforce these skills. The pages include definitions, examples, and plenty of practice.

BINGO

Provide students with bingo boards that feature words that have prefixes and/or suffixes. For example, one of their squares could say "reheat." Read clues out loud to go with each word. For the word "reheat" the clue could be "to heat again." If you laminate your BINGO boards, your students can circle the prefixes and suffixes with a dry-erase pen.

Prefix and Suffix Catch

Write various prefixes and suffixes on a beach ball. The students stand in a circle and throw the ball to their classmates. Wherever their hand lands, they have to say a word using that prefix/suffix. You can also have your students explain what the word they say means.

This activity can also be done in small groups or with partners, and you might opt for a large dry erase dice over a beach ball.

I Have Who Has

This classic game can be adapted to teach and review prefixes and suffixes. Provide each student with a card which should list the definition of a word with a prefix/suffix, along with a word that has a prefix or suffix.

For example, student A's card might say, "I have reheat. Who has "to spell a word incorrectly." Student B's card would say, "I have misspell." Who has... Continue to play the game until everyone has a chance.

Task Cards

You can use task cards in countless ways with your kiddos. Consider SCOOT, Quiz, Quiz, Trade, etc. Here is a post with 31 Great Ideas for Using Task Cards. You can also find a triple set of Suffix Task Cards here. Great for teaching those tricky suffix rules.

Build a Word With Clips

Write some base words on popsicle sticks and add prefixes and suffixes to clothespins. Students create variations of words by adding prefix and suffix clips. Then they can write the words they create. If you do this activity in partners, students can talk about what the words mean as the prefixes and suffixes change.

Build a Word With LEGOs

Similar to the previous activity, you can write base words, prefixes and suffixes on LEGOs. Students will then need to create words by putting the Legos together (on a LEGO base) and discuss the meaning of the words formed.

Prefix and Suffix Roll and Write

Provide students with dice and a master sheet that states which number correlates with the activity they will do and the prefix/suffix they will use.

For example, the number one could mean making a list of words using the prefix or suffix. Two could mean writing a sentence using the prefix or suffix. Three could mean writing a paragraph using the prefix and suffix.

The prefixes and suffixes used should vary based on what you have introduced to the class.

I hope these activities have sparked some great ideas that you'll take to the classroom with you. If they do, be sure to let me know. I'd love to hear about the great things happening in your room.

Here are a few engaging no-prep prefix and suffix activities your students will love.

These two strategies will help teach students to correctly break a word into syllables and combined with explicitly teaching that the le closing syllable is always found in words that are two or more syllables will address the phonological awareness. With this strategy we would focus on words that end with the schwa syllable le /əl/ so the student would recognize it while focusing on the sound and syllable breakdown.
