3 Column Transition

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students learn how to form new words by adding the suffix “-ful” to a given list of root words. The worksheet is organized into four columns, with the first column containing the root words such as “care,” “help,” “rest,” and others. Students are instructed to write the suffix “-ful” in the second column, combine it with the root word to form a new word in the third column, and then write the meaning of the new word in the last column. This exercise allows students to practice creating words and understanding their meanings by actively engaging with word formation.

The worksheet aims to educate students on how adding the suffix “-ful” to a root word can change its meaning to imply ‘full of’ or ‘characterized by’ the concept of the root word. It seeks to improve the students’ vocabulary by encouraging them to think about the meaning of the new words they form. The task also enhances their understanding of how English words are constructed, showing the relationship between a word and its suffix. By filling out the meanings, students are further prompted to think critically about the words and their applications in language.
