Suffix Activities | 2nd Grade

Teaching grammar is easy and fun with these engaging suffix activities! This 2nd grade grammar resource includes minilessons on PowerPoint with interactive practice slides, suffix worksheets, task cards, poster, and assessment. Students learn to recognize -ly, -ful, -less, -ness, -able, -er, and -est as suffixes that change a word’s meaning, generate examples, and use them in their writing. This read-to use resource includes a week of practice activities in a variety of formats.

The simple 5-day routine allows you to teach, practice and assess your students in 15 minutes or less each day. The daily routine includes whole group practice as well as partner activities. The easy to grade suffix worksheets are ideal for reinforcement, morning work, or homework. An engaging reading passage gives students the opportunity to identify suffixes in context. Students apply their learning in a writing activity with three different formats for easy differentiation. On Friday students are assessed with a short, easy to grade assessment.
