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.

With you today, you need to bring 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 also be great.

Well, let's get straight into today's spelling lesson then.

In today's spelling lesson, we're going to be adding the suffix, -ary.

The outcome will be, I can spell words using the suffix, -ary.

Here are the key words for today's lesson.

My turn, your turn and make sure I can hear you say them back to me.

Noun, adjective, root word, suffix, word family.

Keep an eye and ear out for these words today as they really are key to our learning.

Let's have a chat about what these words mean then.

A noun is a naming word, a person, a place, or a thing.

An adjective describes a noun.

It tells you what it's like.

A root word is the base word from which other words are formed by adding prefixes and suffixes.

And today we're adding suffixes, which are a letter or group of letters that we add to the end of a root word.

And the suffix we are adding today is -ary and a word family is a group of words common in feature, pattern, or meaning.

They're quite useful in our spelling as words in word families will often have common patterns in spelling.

So if you now how to spell one of the words, you may now spell other words.

So here's the outline for today's lesson, we are gonna be using the suffix, -ary.

And then we're gonna have a go at spelling some curriculum words.

Let's get looking at the suffix in action then.

So remember that a suffix is a letter or group of letters that we add onto the end of a word which creates a new word.

Unlike prefixes, which we add to the beginning of words, suffixes often change the word class or the word's tense.

Here we have the root word kind.

I add the -ness suffix to it to create the word kindness.

Here I have the root word artist.

Artist is a noun.

If I add artistic, -ic, the suffix -ic, to create the word artistic, it has changed world class and become an adjective.

And here we have deep, my root word is deep.

I add the -en suffix and I create the word deepen.

Notice in these examples, the spelling of the root word hasn't changed here at all.

This won't always be the case, depending on the root word and the suffix being added, sometimes there are rules around how the root word changes when that suffix is added.

So there are lots of different types of suffix.

And here are just three examples, -ness, -en and -ic.

Remember that today we're concentrating on the suffix, -ary.

And remember, different suffixes can create different words with different word classes.

So different suffixes can create different word classes.

This is really important for us to remember.

It's one of the key things that suffix can do and added to the end of a word.

Suffixes, which create nouns include -tion, -ity, and -ness.

So you must take action to improve your fitness.

Both action and fitness with -tion and -ness are nouns.

The charity, were grateful for the large donation.

Here, charity, -ity, and donation -tion are both nouns.

Suffixes which create verbs include -en, -ate, -ify and -ise, let's look at some of these in action.

If you brighten the light, it will clarify the picture.

Both brighten and clarify are verbs.

Please simplify the rules before you organise the game.

Simplify and organise are both verbs.

And finally, suffixes which can create adjectives are -er, -est, -ous, and -ic.

The deeper water is the coldest.

So deeper, -er and coldest, -est, we have comparative and superlative adjectives here.

The his angelic face beamed at them.

We've taken the root word angel, which is a noun, added the -ic suffix to create an adjective angelic.

The pronunciation has also changed there.

So I'm sure you recognise and know many of these suffixes from your spelling lessons already.

So with that in mind, I'd like you to have a look here at words on the left and the word class in the middle.

I'd like you to match the words to the word class.

Remember, knowing the suffixes and what the suffixes do to root words will help you.

We have the words angelic, the word action, organise and brighten.

Remember, that a noun is a person, a place, or a thing.

A verb is a doing or being word or having word.

And an adjective describes a noun.

It tells you what it's like.

So I'd like you to match these words now to their correct word class.

Pause the video.

Off you go.

Brilliant.

So angelic, we've taken the root word angel there and added -ic.

Remember putting words into the sentence can sometimes help as well.

The angelic boy sang beautifully.

Oh, that's an adjective in that sentence that was being used to describe.

Adding -ic to the ends of root words creates adjectives.

Action, -tion.

An action is a noun, it's a person, place or thing.

Organise, -ise is a verb.

And brighten, also a verb, -ise, and -en create verbs.

Remember, if we know our suffixes and we know what those suffixes do, when added to the end of words, we will then know the word class of the new words that we are creating.

<v ->ic here, added to the end</v> of root word is created an adjective.

<v ->tion, added to the end of root word is created a noun</v> and organise, -ise and brighten, -en.

Both of those suffixes create verbs.

So let's have a read of some words.

Primary.

Primary, like primary school.

Voluntary.

Voluntary.

This is where you volunteer to do something or something that's volunteered.

Summary, I gave a summary of the key points of the lesson.

Library.

Library where you go to get your books.

Ordinary, ordinary.

Necessary, something that's necessary is needed.

Temporary.

If something's temporary, it's not permanent.

And dictionary that place you might go to look for the definition of a word.

What do you notice about all of these words then? Absolutely, they have our -ary suffix.

They all end in -ary, -ary and -ery are similar word endings.

They're making that ary sound, aren't they? Be careful -ary can sound very similar to the -ery spelling as well.

The root word is often not obvious, and we can see that in some of these words.

If I take library for instance, L-I-B-R is not a clear root word.

Ordin in ordinary, not a clear root word, but some are.

If we think about prime and primary, I do know my root word there.

Using the suffix -ary usually creates a noun or an adjective.

So it can create both word classes here.

And remember, suffixes can change the word class with the root word onto which they're added.

So adding -ary will create either a noun or an adjective.

Remember a noun is a PPT, a personal place or a thing, and an adjective describes a noun.

It tells you what it's like.

So -ary, ary sometimes sounds like re or ery -ery.

So be careful with this.

Okay? It's the -ary spelling that we're looking at today.

It might always sound very clear.

So the -ary suffix often turns words into nouns or adjectives.

We know suffixes can change the word class.

Can you imagine a delicious chocolate cake? In this instance, imagine it's something that you're doing.

It's a verb.

If I then change, imagine to imaginary by adding my -ary suffix, the chocolate cake in your mind is imaginary.

Imaginary here is describing that cake.

So it's an adjective.

So we've gone from imagine, which was a verb.

We've removed the 'e' here and added our -ary suffix, and it's created an adjective.

Remember the -ary suffix when added to words, will create nouns or adjectives.

It could be either word class.

So be careful.

The -ary suffix turn often turns words into nouns and adjectives.

So let's have a look at some more examples.

Let's go to the library and collect some new books.

So library here about -ary suffix is a place, it's a noun.

Have a look here for me at these words, dictionary and ordinary in these sentences.

Read the sentences and decide what word class they are in either.

Remember that -ary suffix can create either adjectives or nouns.

Pause the video and decide their word class now, off you go.

Fantastic.

So let's read the sentences then.

You can use a dictionary to help you find out the meaning.

Dictionary in this sentence is a thing that you're going to go and flick through, read through, find the word and get its definition.

So it's a noun.

The soup tasted very ordinary.

So not a particularly amazing soup, not really tasteful, just ordinary, bland, perhaps.

The word ordinary here then with our -ary suffix describes that soup so it's an adjective.

So this is showing here that our -ary suffix at the end of the words, can either make nouns or adjectives.

So adding the -ary suffix does what? There's two options to choose from.

Read them and select the correct options.

Off you go.

Brilliant.

So changes the tense of a word.

Suffixes can do that, but I don't think my -ary is doing that, is it? Creates an adjective.

Well, yes, it can create adjectives like the ordinary that we just looked at helps us to compare things.

No, I don't think so.

I think that's our -er and our -est suffixes, our comparative and our superlatives or creates a noun like the word library or dictionary.

Nouns.

So remember -ary suffix can create adjectives or nouns.

It can change the word class or the root word onto which it's added.

Some words ending in -ary have an obvious root word, and we can clearly see that.

So let's look at some examples.

Primary, imaginary, summary, dictionary, confectionary and boundary also visionary.

So let's look carefully and think about what our root words here are.

Pause the video.

Can you spot the root words? Their spelling might of change.

Remember, be careful.

Brilliant.

So I can see here in primary, I've had the root word prime, which is like the first thing.

So saying your primary target is the one you mainly want to go after, it's your number one.

In imaginary, we would have imagine.

In summary, we'd have sum, the sum of the parts, the total.

In dictionary, we have diction.

In confectionary, we have confection, which is that nice, sweet or treat that you might want to eat.

In boundary, we have bound, which is a word, and in visionary we have vision.

Notice how in some instances we've just been able to add our -ary suffix.

But in other instances, we've had to remove a letter from our root word or add a letter.

When the root word ends in an 'e' like prime and imagine, we can see here, we remove the 'e' and add our -ary suffix, think about that.

Our -ary suffix begins with a vow, doesn't it? It's a vow beginning suffix.

So we want to remove the last vow of the root word before adding it.

Notice in in summary as well.

A-a short vowel sound.

So we've doubled the consonant and added our suffix.

Those are quite common rules when adding many different types of suffixes.

So let's have a look at how some root words ending in 'e' change when we add this suffix.

Imagine becomes imaginary.

Prime becomes primary.

The 'e' is removed before the suffix -ary is added.

The rule is similar to lots of other vowel suffix rules.

Because our suffix here begins with a vow.

We remove the vow, our root word ends in before adding it.

There are not many examples of words that follow this rule for adding the -ary suffix, though.

Other words ending in -ary do not have an obvious root word.

Let's have a look at some of these words.

Voluntary.

My turn, your turn.

Library, anniversary.

Ordinary, necessary, temporary, February that month.

So we have a capital that's proper noun.

I find thinking about word families can help us to connect the meanings and the spellings because there isn't a clear root word here for us to add that suffix onto.

Voluntary, for instance, I can think of that another word that is similar to that within that word, family volunteer.

So I know how to spell volunteer so I know how to spell voluntary or the first part of it.

I know if you hear that -ary at the end, I'm gonna have my -ary suffix.

I know of ordinary, I know the word order, so I know it's gonna be O-R-D ord-in and then -ary.

So thinking of those word families, that key word we thought about earlier, words that are linked in the way that they look or sound is really important and can help us in our spellings.

Here are some other ways that I've thought of.

We can also start to think about the origin or etymology of words, where they've come from.

And this is really fascinating.

Etymologists will consider the journey upon which a word has been as it's developed in evolved throughout our language.

Did you know that library, for instance, comes from the Latin word 'liber'? So we have there the 'libr' at the start, which is linked to that 'liber', which means a book.

So library is a place to go to get books.

Did you know that anniversary comes from the French word 'anniversaire'? Which meaning birthday.

Anniversary is an annual celebration.

You would celebrate your birthday annually.

Really interesting.

And there's loads of links like that in the English language because our language has a huge mixture of languages which have affected it over time.

So with that in mind, let's have a look at some of those words that don't have clear root words.

I'd like you to read these sentences and choose the correct spelling in each.

Off you go.

Fantastic job.

Let's see how you've done then.

These words don't have clear root words, do they? So there's no rules for us to add the suffix.

The library was full of fascinating books.

Now remember the etymology of this word, liber meaning book.

Library.

Hmm, library.

L-I-B-R-A-R-Y.

And we know it's gonna be our -ary spelling.

Try not to get tripped up with -ery and -ary.

Dragons existed in the imaginary world.

So library we looked at before was a noun.

Remember that -ary suffix can make nouns or adjectives.

This here is an adjective, imaginary.

It's being used to describe the world.

Now here we do know our root word, don't we? Imagine, what's our rule here? Whoosh.

Chop off the 'e' and then add our -ary suffix, imaginary world.

The teacher gave a summary of what they had learnt.

Okay, so our root word here is sum, isn't it? Not overly clear summary, S-U-M short vowel sounds.

So against double the consonant and then add our suffix <v ->ary summary, brilliant.

</v> Library, imaginary, summary.

So as most word endings in -ary, do not follow a rule.

We have to look carefully when practising spelling them.

So let's have a look carefully at these words.

Primary, voluntary, summary, library, ordinary, necessary, temporary, dictionary.

Some of those words have clear root words and some don't.

What do you notice about the spellings? Is there anything particularly tricky or difficult that you might want to remember about them? Have a go at saying the words again and have a think.

Pause the video now.

Brilliant, really great thinking there.

I can see one collar and two sleeves in the word necessary.

Tricky word to spell, isn't it? It's got one C and two S's.

So I can remember this as one collar and two sleeves here.

I can see the root word diction in dictionary.

So I know diction is going to be in dictionary.

Diction means your choice or use of words in your writing or speaking.

So dictionary obviously links to that as well because we know it's a patient who goes to look for a definition of words.

So I'm gonna say some words to you now, and I'd like you to think really carefully about how these words would be spelled.

Do they have a root word that you know? Sound out the word and then read and check.

So listen to me say the words first of all.

The first word is library.

I went to the library to get a book.

Library.

The next word is summary.

At the end of this lesson, I'll give you a summary.

The third word is imaginary.

I entered the imaginary world and the final word is necessary.

It is necessary for you to listen.

So I'll say those words one more time.

Check and see if they have any root words.

Maybe they don't.

So sound 'em out carefully.

Consider, have we looked at these words already today? We're looking, remember at our -ary suffix.

So our words were library, summary, imaginary, necessary, pause the video and have a great writing then now.

Off you go.

Fantastic job team.

You've done a really great job there.

Some great consideration in particular of the root words and and those rules around adding suffixes, but also some really careful thinking about how some of those trickier words were spelt.

I could see really remembering and thinking back to the learning that we'd already done today.

So great job.

Let's see how you've all done then.

I've seen library written like this.

Now library remember, doesn't have a clear root word, does it? But we know it's etymologically it comes from Latin 'liber', and I know it's gonna be my -ary spelling at the end there.

Library.

So library, we know 'liber' does have an 'r' in it.

So it's gonna be library.

You can hear that 'r' as well, can't we? Be careful with that one.

So L-I-B-R-A-R-Y.

The next word was summary.

Okay? I'm going to give you a summary.

I'm gonna tell you the sum of all the parts of the things that we've been looking at.

Our root word there is sum, sum ar-ar short vowel sound.

I'm gonna double the consonant before I add my -ary suffix there.

Summary two m's.

Remember that.

The next word was imaginary.

My root word there is imagine that word ends in an E, doesn't it? Ah, really common rule when adding a suffix, remove the E, especially if it's a vowel suffix.

And then add -ary suffix.

Imaginary, imaginary.

And finally necessary.

How did I remember this? It had, okay, one collar and two sleeves, one C and two S's.

No clear root word here necessary.

But I can also link it to other words like necessitate can't I? Which I might know how to spell.

So necessary.

N-E-C one C, E-S-S double S, -ary.

Necessary.

How did you do here? What success have you had? Well, mistakes have you had made? Do you need to make any corrections? Share your learning and make those corrections now.

Pause the video.

Onto our final learning cycle then team, we're going to be spelling some curriculum words.

Curriculum words are those words which appear very often in our reading and writing.

They might have something a bit tricky about them.

And so it's very important we take some time to study them and know how to spell them as we're going to need to use them a lot.

And we want to be confident when using them.

So let's read the following words.

My turn, your turn.

Believe, I do not believe you just said that.

Complete, please make sure you complete your work by the end of the lesson.

Guide, I will be your guide today.

So have a look at these words for me.

Have a say of them again.

What do you notice is difficult perhaps about them? Do they have any naughty letters in there? Do you have anything you think might be tricky to remember when I'm writing them or spelling them? Pause the video and have a think now.

Brilliant.

So I've noticed a couple of things in believe, we have this 'ie' here, which is making an 'ee' sound, and it also has a naughty 'e' at the end.

I before 'e' except after 'c', remember? So 'ieve' there believe, that 'ie' making that 'e' sound.

It's a bit of a naughty one.

In complete, we have the 'e' split 'e'.

We have a split digraph here, making that 'e-e' sound separated by that consonant 't'.

And in guide we don't say it gu-id.

We have a silent 'u' here, don't we? Guide that 'ui' is working together to make an 'i' sound almost so guide that 'u' is almost a silent letter there, guide.

So let's have a look at these words one more time.

Believe, complete and guide.

Let's think about what's tricky about them.

Believe 'ie' and an 'ee' at the end.

Complete split digraph and guide the silent 'u'.

Take a snapshot now.

Brilliant.

Hopefully you remember how to spell them.

I'm hoping you looked really carefully there because I'm gonna ask you now, which is the correct spelling of those curriculum words that we've just looked at, which is the correct spelling of believe? Think about what's tricky about it? Pause the video and point to the correct one now.

Fantastic.

So remember that 'ee' sound in the middle was made with an 'i' and an 'e', I before E except after C.

And there was no C before it.

So 'ie' and then that naughty 'e' at the end as well believe.

Which is the correct spelling of the word complete? Pause the video and point to it now.

Brilliant, complete.

Now it's an 'e' sound, isn't it? But it's an 'e-e'.

It's separated by that T.

It's a split digraph.

Complete C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E.

And finally guide.

Remember the naughty letter here.

Pause point to the correct one now.

Great job.

Now what is a naughty letter here? Was a naughty 'u' was a silent 'u'.

Gu-ide, G-U-I-D-E.

Brilliant.

So because these are curriculum words they're really important.

They're gonna appear a lot in our reading writing.

It's important that we are confident now to spell them.

And because they have tricky parts to them and there's no obvious rules when learning them.

So it's really important we embed them into our long term memories.

So we are gonna gonna have a go at writing out these words using the look cover, write, check strategy, which is a really great independent repetitive of strategy.

Basically, you're gonna have to look really carefully at the spelling.

Believe is my first one.

I'm gonna look at it, consider what's tricky about it.

I know I've got my I-E-V-E-B-E-L-I-E-V-E.

I then cover it up and visualise it.

Yep, I remember how to spell it.

I then have a go at writing it, and then I'll uncover and check back.

And I'll do this a number of times because even if I get it right first time, I really want to embed that spelling into my long term memory.

And I'm obviously gonna use my best cursive handwriting as well to really make links between my hand and my brain, that motor memory and that muscle memory.

So pause the video now, use the look, cover, write, check strategy for believe, complete and guide our three curriculum words.

Off you go.

Great job team.

Have you done there? I've written out, believe, complete, and guide a number of times using the look, cover, write, check strategy.

Share your favourite string of words now, and also make any corrections.

Pause the video.

Fantastic job today, team.

We today have been looking at that suffix, -ary, that suffix, -ary turns words into adjectives or nouns.

Some words end in -ary with no clear root word.

Thinking about word families can help with understanding meanings and spellings.

And remember, we can also begin to think about the etymology, where those words have come from.

When the root word ends in 'e', we remove the 'e' and add the vowel suffix, -ary.

Keep up the great spelling, keep up the great practise and I'll see you again soon.
