Worksheet Description

This worksheet introduces the concept of suffixes, specifically focusing on the suffixes “-ful” and “-less.” It provides pairs of words that are differentiated only by these suffixes, such as “thoughtful” vs. “thoughtless” and “careful” vs. “careless.” Students are instructed to read sentences with a blank space and decide which word correctly completes each sentence, marking their choice with a check in the appropriate box. The sentences are structured to contextualize the words, aiding in comprehension.

The worksheet is trying to teach students the meanings of the suffixes “-ful” and “-less” and how they alter the meanings of root words. By choosing between two similar words with opposite meanings to complete sentences, students learn to discern subtle differences in word usage. The activity encourages students to apply their understanding of these suffixes to choose words that make sense in the given context. This exercise helps students to improve their reading comprehension and to expand their vocabulary with antonyms.
