Suffixes - ness, -al, and -ly

Below is a list of words we have studied for a number of weeks. We have segmented the words into morphemes (parts of a word), discussed the meaning of the morphemes, reviewed the spelling of these words and have used puzzles and games to build comfort and familiarity with their spelling and definition.

Here is an example:

indecipherable

Morphemes: in (not), de (away from), cipher (code/secret), able (can do)

Meaning: not able to take away the code

This week we will have a spelling test on some of the words we studied. If your child wishes to study these words, they may review the list. The work we have done in class should be enough preparation; however, extra review is never a bad idea!
