Add To The Root

Worksheet Description

This Suffixes worksheet provides an exciting opportunity for students to practice using the suffixes “-able” and “-ious/-ous” to transform base words and create new words that match specific meanings. Each word is accompanied by a meaning, and students are tasked with adding the appropriate suffix (“-able” or “-ious/-ous”) to form a word that conveys the given meaning.

By completing this activity, students will develop a deeper understanding of how suffixes alter the meaning and function of base words, with “-able” indicating capability or possibility, and “-ious/-ous” suggesting characteristics or qualities. This exercise enhances vocabulary skills and language comprehension, encouraging students to explore word formation through suffixes.

Through this interactive and engaging worksheet, students will gain confidence in their ability to identify and utilize suffixes, leading to improved reading and writing abilities.
