Lesson video

Hello, and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss.

I love spelling, and I'm really looking forward to teaching you.

For today's lesson, you need to bring with you your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as that something to write with and write on and someone or something to talk to you would be brilliant as well.

Let's get on with today's learning.

In today's lesson, we're going to be using and spelling suffixes, and we're going to be concentrating on adding the suffix -ly.

The outcome for today's lesson will be, I can spell words using the suffix -ly.

Here are the key words for today's learning.

My turn, your turn, and I need to hear you say these back to me.

Suffix, adjective, adverb, syllable.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters that we add onto the end of a word.

This creates a new word and often changes the root word's word class.

An adjective describes a noun.

It tells you what it's like.

An adverb describes a verb, and a syllable is a single sound or beat in a word that contains a vowel sound.

It often helps to clap syllables out.

Cat contains one single vowel sound, so it contains one single syllable.

Model contains two syllables.

Make sure you keep an eye and an ear out for these key words today in our learning.

They're gonna be very important.

Here is the lesson outline for today.

We're going to be using and spelling suffixes, and we're concentrating on that -ly suffix.

First of all, we're gonna use that -ly suffix, and then, we're gonna have a go at applying the spellings we've been looking at within a sentence.

Let's get on with using that suffix -ly, then.

A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.

Let's have a look at some suffixes in action.

Here, I've got the word play, and I can add that +ing suffix to the end of that word to create a new word.

Play becomes playing.

My turn, your turn.

Play, playing.

My suffix here is +ing, and you can see here I've got the root word play, and I've added onto it, I've connected to it at the end of the word that +ing to create a new word, playing.

Here we've got the word play again, but this time, we have the +er suffix.

Play becomes player.

My turn, your turn.

Play, player.

Here we've got that +ed suffix, so we now have the word played.

My turn, your turn.

Play, played.

And our suffix there is +ed.

There are lots of of different types of suffix, and today, we are going to be concentrating on the -ly suffix.

So let's read the following words: quickly, slowly, happily, sadly, easily, loudly, brightly.

All of these words end in that -ly suffix.

The -ly suffix often turns adjectives into adverbs.

I can see three of our key words here.

Suffix, that group of letters or letter at the end of a word that changes the word, adjectives, which, remember, describe nouns, and adverbs, which describe verbs, so when we add that -ly suffix, it often turns words that were describing nouns into words that can describe verbs.

The rabbit is quick.

Quick, here, is an adjective.

The word quick describes the rabbit.

That rabbit is quick, so it's an adjective.

It's describing our noun.

Our noun here is rabbit.

The rabbit runs quickly.

Here, the word quickly is paired with runs.

Runs is a verb, so the word quickly here describes how the rabbit is running and is therefore an adverb, and you can see here we've added our -ly suffix to the end of the adjective, which was quick, to create that adverb, quickly.

Have a look here.

What word class are slow and slowly? I'll read the sentences first.

The turtle is slow.

Hm.

The turtle walks slowly.

What word class is the word slow? What word class is the word slowly? Are they nouns? Adjectives? Verbs? Adverbs? Pause the video and decide now.

Brilliant.

The word slow, then, is describing our turtle, isn't it? And we know words that describe nouns are adjectives.

The word slowly here is describing how the turtle is walking.

Walks is a verb, so slowly is an adverb.

It's describing how it's walking.

It's describing that verb.

The -ly suffix starts with a consonant, so it's starting with that l, which is a consonant.

A consonant is a sound that's made by blocking the air in the mouth with the teeth, tongue, or lips.

L is a consonant here.

This means that the root word usually doesn't change when the suffix is added, so most of the time, when we add -ly, that root word, that adjective that we begin with, stays the same.

Let's have a look at this.

Quick becomes quickly.

We just add -ly.

Slow becomes slowly.

We've just added -ly.

And sad becomes sadly.

We've just added -ly.

Loud.

What do you think loud would become? How do you think loud would be spelled? Pause the video.

Have a think now.

Try spelling the word loudly.

Absolutely.

It would be spelled loudly, just adding that -ly.

It's important to note here as well, that all of our root words here also just have a single syllable, that single beat.

Quick becomes quickly, slow becomes slowly, sad becomes sadly, and loud becomes loudly.

If the root word has more than one syllable, so more than one beat, and ends in a consonant y, then the y is replaced by an i before adding that -ly suffix.

Let's have a look at this in action then, so we have happy, happy, so two syllables there, and my root word here is ending in a y, so what I do here is I replace that y with an i, and then I add my -ly, and it becomes happily, with three syllables there.

Easy, easy, two syllables, and it ends in a y, so what do I need to do? I need to replace that y with an i and add -ly.

Let's see how easily would be spelled then.

There you go.

Easily.

Angry, angry, two syllables, ends in a y.

How am I going to spell angrily, then? Pause the video, tell someone around you, or spell it out to yourself.

How is angrily going to be spelled? Brilliant.

Absolutely.

We've got those two syllables here, and it ends in a y, so I replace the y with an i, and add my -ly, angrily.

Lazy, lazy, two syllables, ends in a y.

Get rid of the y, add an i, and then add my -ly suffix.

Notice happily, easily, angrily, and lazily are all adverbs as well, so have a look here for me.

Put the root words into the correct column to show what will happen when we add the -ly suffix, so there's a column here that says just adding -ly, and there's a column there that's remove the y and add -ily.

Think about the rules that we've just said about how we add that -ly suffix.

Let's read the words below first: sad, happy, quick, angry.

Consider how many syllables are in the word.

Consider if it ends in a y.

Pause the video and sort these words into the correct columns now.

Brilliant, everyone, so I'm hoping that you've got them sorted into these columns.

Sadly, is just adding our y because it's that single syllable, sad.

Quickly, we just add our y there.

Think about the word quick.

Quick, single syllable.

Now, we had happy and angry as our adjectives that we're turning into adverbs.

Happy, two syllables, and that root word happy ended in a y, so we get rid of that y and add an i and then our -ly suffix and angry, again, two syllables, ended in a y.

Get rid of that y.

Add that i and then our -ly suffix.

Check and see how you did here.

So what this shows us is if the root word has more than one syllable and ends in a consonant y, then the y is replaced by an i before adding our -ly suffix, so what we're gonna have a go now at doing is turning these adjectives into adverbs by adding the suffix -ly.

Take your time and give consideration to how many syllables the word has and whether it ends in a y.

Think about what this means you'll have to do.

The words are quick, lazy, happy, and loud.

These are all adjectives.

I'd like you to turn them into adverbs by adding that suffix -ly.

Pause the video and do this now.

Great job everyone, so let's go through and see how you've done turning these adjectives into adverbs.

Here are three ways that I've seen quickly written down.

Quickly, quickly, hm, quikly, and quickily.

Now let's think about this.

Quick.

One syllable, isn't it? And it ends in that ck already.

Hm, so I don't think the middle one's going to work because our root word's not going to change, is it? And it's not two syllables or more than one syllable, and it's not ending in a y, so I'm just going to add -ly to this one.

This is the correct spelling of quickly, the adverb.

Next word was lazy.

I've seen it written like this.

We're trying to make the word lazily.

Lazlee, hm, lazily, and lazly.

Well, let's think about this.

It's ending in a y, and it has two syllables, doesn't it? Lazy, and we've looked at when the word has more than one syllable and ends in the consonant y, we get rid of that y, we add an i, and then we add our -ly suffix, so the correct spelling is this one here, lazily.

Happy is the next adjective, so we want to turn this into the adverb happily.

I've seen it written in these ways: Happyly, hm, haply, hm, and happily.

I think we can disregard the middle one.

I don't think one of the p's is going to disappear.

I think it'll remain as a double p.

Now, this word, happy, more than one syllable, and it ends in a y.

What was our rule? If it has more than one syllable and ends in the consonant y, we get rid of that consonant y and change it for an i and then add our -ly, so the correct spelling is this one here, and finally, loud.

Want to make this loudly.

This is a single-syllable word, isn't it? Loud, and it ends in that d.

I don't think I'm going to need to add an i 'cause there's no consonant y here for me to get rid of.

The spelling of loud isn't going to change that root word, so the correct spelling is just adding that suffix -ly.

This is the correct spelling now.

Really good job.

Check and see how you did.

Make any corrections now.

Pause the video.

On to our next learning cycle, then.

We're going to be applying the spellings within a sentence now.

Let's read the following words.

My turn, your turn.

Whole, whole.

Hole.

Hm, you might be noticing something here.

These words are homophones.

Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.

I ate a whole apple.

This is as in the whole of something, part, part, whole.

I have a hole in my sock, so this is a hole as in a gap in something.

Hole can be a tricky word to spell also because of that silent w, so watch out for this.

Let's choose the correct spelling in each sentence.

I'll read the sentence to us.

The dog dug a big hole for his bone.

I spent the whole day reading a book.

The rabbit darted into a small hole under the tree.

Pause the video now and select the correct spelling of the word hole for each of these sentences.

Off you go.

Brilliant.

Let's go through them then.

So the first one is a hole that's being dug by the dog, so that correct spelling is this one here.

It's our h spelling here.

The other type of whole would not work.

I spent the whole day, so all of that day.

The correct spending is this one here, and don't forget it has that silent w at the beginning, and finally, the rabbit darted into a hole under the tree.

That's that H-O-L-E spelling again, that hole.

Watch out for these homophones in your reading and your learning.

Pause the video and see how you did.

So we are going to write a sentence now containing some of our focus spellings and common exception words.

When we write the whole sentence, there's that word whole again, we need to do several things at once.

Remember the whole sentence, form letters correctly, sound out each word, look out for common exception words, and, of course, remember sentence punctuation, capital letters, and full stops, and any other punctuation that a sentence might contain.

I'd like you to just listen to me say the sentence, first of all.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

So we're gonna use some strategies now to help us remember this sentence.

The first one is tapping it out.

You can do this in your head or your shoulders, on the table or on the floor.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

I find that strategy really helps you to memorise the sentence and to make sure you hear all those syllables in the different words so you're not missing any sounds.

Pause the video and tap the sentence out now.

Good job.

The next one is saying it in a silly voice.

This is one of my favourite strategies.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

You pause the video now and say it in your silliest voice.

I want you to try and make me laugh.

(instructor chuckles) Great job.

Some amazing silly voices there, and finally, counting the words on our fingers so we make sure we don't miss any of them out.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

I make that 10.

Stop the video now.

Say the sentence.

Count each word on your finger as you go.

Good job, so we're gonna have a go at writing the sentence now.

Please make sure you sound out each word.

Look out for those common exception words, and don't forget your caps lesson, full stops, your sentence punctuation.

I'll say the sentence one more time.

The children spent the whole day playing loudly and happily.

Pause the video and write that sentence now.

Brilliant job, everyone.

Let's check our work now and make any corrections as we go along.

The, obviously needs to have a capital letter, children spent the whole, this is the type of whole here as in all of it, day playing loudly.

Oh, loud.

Loud, single syllable.

Just add that -ly to turn it into an adverb, and happily, the root word there is happy, two syllables, ends in a y.

We get rid of that y, add an i, and then our -ly suffix, and then, of course, we add our full stop at the end of our sentence.

How did you do? What did you learn? Pause the video, make any corrections, and share your successes now.

Great job today, everyone.

Today, we've been looking at suffixes, and in particular, concentrating on that -ly suffix.

Remember, a suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.

The -ly suffix starts with a consonant.

This means that the root word usually doesn't change when the suffix is added.

However, if the root word has more than one syllable, more than one beat in it, and ends in a consonant y, then we get rid of that y, we replace it with an i before adding our -ly suffix, and remember, our -ly suffix, when we add it, often changes the word class as well, changes words into adverbs, words that describe verbs.

Brilliant work today.

Keep up your great spelling, and I'll see you again soon.
