What’s new?
Jumpstart Your Brain!
How many words can you create from the word roots in the middle circle
by combining other word parts with them? The words you create should
consist a prefix (in the small ovals on the left) and a root, a root and a
suffix (in the small ovals on the right), or a prefix, a root and a suffix. If
there is more than one spelling of a word part, you may use any of them.
 How many words were you able to create?

What do you call the word part added at the beginning and at the end of
the word to form new words? Affixes

What I Can Do?

Suffixes are a type of affix that are placed at the beginning of a word to
modify or change the meaning of a word. Your knowledge of prefixes
help widen your vocabulary and boost your reading comprehension.

In the paragraph below, circle all the words with suffixes and give their
meaning.

It was summertime. The children are excited to visit their

grandparents in the farm. The children had sleepless night. They were
imagining of the wonderful things they do in the farm. They play and eat
in a peaceful meadow near the lake. They sometimes catch fish with the
help of grandpa and their cousins. They sometimes swim in the lake with
their cousins. Their cousins were helpful to make things easy for them.
In the afternoon, they were so eager to help in feeding grandpa’s animals
while grandma is watchful and reminds them to be careful. The children
can’t wait for another summer to come. They wish they could do these
things this summer and for the next summer to come.
