Lesson video

Hello and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss.

I love spelling and I can't wait to teach 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 would be great, and having something or someone to talk to would also be excellent.

All right then, let's crack on with today's lesson.

In this spelling lesson, we are going to use spelling words with the suffixes, -ary and -ery.

The outcome will be: I can spell words using the suffixes <v ->ary and -ery.

</v> Here are the key words for today's learning: My turn, your turn.

Suffix.

Root word.

Noun.

Verb.

Adjective.

Let's have a chat about what these words mean then: A suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning.

The root word is the base word from which other words are formed often by adding prefixes or suffixes.

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

A verb is a doing, being or having word.

And an adjective describes a noun.

Now, the reason we've got three word class words here is because today we are going to be adding suffixes to root words, which change the original word's word class when creating a new word.

Here's the outline for today's lesson.

We are going to begin by using the suffix, -ery, and then we're going to use the suffix, -ary.

And finally, we're going to apply our spellings within a sentence.

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

A suffix remember is a letter or group of letters that we add to the end of a word, which creates another word.

Unlike prefixes, which are added to the start of a word, suffixes often changed the words tense or word class.

Here we have the root word offer.

I add my -ed suffix to create the word offered, which has changed the original words tense.

Here I have joy and the suffix -ful.

I add those together to create the new word joyful.

In terms of word class, here I have the adjective deep.

I add my -en suffix to create the word deepen.

It's word class has changed.

It's now a verb.

There are lots of different types of suffix.

I remember today we are looking at adding -ery and -ary.

Different suffixes can create words with different word classes remember.

Let's have a read of some words that use the suffixes that we are going to be looking at today: Dictionary.

My turn, your turn.

Necessary.

Ordinary.

Secondary.

Bakery.

Cemetery.

Machinery.

Nursery.

They end with the suffixes, -ary and -ery.

These suffixes can change the word class of this word.

They often change words to nouns.

It can be hard to remember sometimes, which ending to use as -ary and -ery can sound very similar at the ends of words, dependent on how they're pronounced.

We have to be very careful with these suffixes.

The -ery ending is the most common, is more common than our -ary ending.

The -ery suffix can create nouns.

"Do you like to bake cakes?" Here, the word bake is a doing word.

It is a verb.

"Where is the nearest bakery?" We've taken our root word bake and we've added our -ery suffix onto the end to create new word bakery.

In this instance, the bakery is a place, a noun.

So our root word has changed from being a verb, with our -ery suffix added, it just created a noun, bakery.

Read these two sentences for me.

What word class are nurse and nursery in those sentences? Off you go.

Brilliant.

"The nurse helped the patient into bed." The word nurse here is naming a person.

It is a noun.

"We have a nursery in our school." The word nursery here is a thing.

It is the name of a class.

It is a noun.

The word class didn't change here.

You need to see the word in a sentence to decide its word class.

You could have a nursery class, then nursery will be an adjective.

So that word can both be a noun and an adjective.

Some word endings in -ery have root words we recognise and some don't.

Let's have a look at some examples.

Machinery has the root word, machine.

Gallery, and cemetery or cemetery do not have root words that I can recognise here.

Mystery doesn't have a root word that I clearly know, but I know it's linked in meaning.

And also in spelling to the word mysterious.

On the left hand side here we have our root words, machine, jewel, deliver, pot and master.

I'd like you to match these root words to the related word ending in the suffix, -ery, that you can see on the right hand side.

Match those words now.

Off you go.

Great job team.

So I'm hoping you manage to sort them like this.

Machine and machinery, jewel and jewellery.

As we are reading these, be thinking as well, do you notice anything interesting about the spelling of the root word and how it's changed when the suffix has been added? 'Cause we're gonna be looking at these in just a moment.

Deliver and delivery, pot and pottery, and master and mastery.

The suffix -ery follows some familiar spelling rules when adding suffixes.

Remember, this is a suffix that begins in a vowel E.

If our root word ends in a consonant, we can just add the suffix very often.

Trick becomes trickery.

We haven't had to change the root word at all.

If the root word ends in a vowel such as an E, we remove the E and then add the suffix.

Scene here becomes scenery.

What will happen to these words when we add the suffix -ery? Green becoming greenery and brave becoming bravery.

Remember to look carefully at the spelling of the root word.

Pause the video and have a go at spelling those new words now.

Great job team.

Really, really, really great consideration of the rules that we've been looking at.

Green ends in a consonant, so we can just add our suffix -ery.

The root word ends in that consonant, we just add the suffix.

Brave ends in an E.

I have to remove that E from that root word and then add my -ery suffix.

There are also irregular words and those that follow unfamiliar or different patterns when adding this suffix.

Jewel here becomes jewellery.

I wore a piece of jewellery.

Notice here that my L has doubled before adding my -ery.

Pot becomes pottery.

Again notice that the T, the consonant, at the end there has doubled before adding our -ery suffix.

So we can see here that the final consonant at the end of these words has doubled before adding our suffix.

There is a double letter.

You can have a jeweller, so a person that works with jewellery and a potter, a person whose job it is to make pottery and pots.

This helps us to remember the spelling.

Both jeweller and potter have a double consonant.

So, so will jewellery and pottery.

Try and remember that.

Please read the sentences.

Choose the correct spelling of the highlighted words.

Consider the root word and whether we've just looked at these words.

Off you go.

Okay, team, good job.

Let's see if you've managed to choose the correct spellings, then.

They were surrounded by beautiful greenery.

Our root word here is green.

Is it our -ary or our -ery? When our most common spelling is our -ery and it is green-ery, greenery, -er.

The nursery was next to the school.

Now our root word here is nurse.

We can remove the E and then add our -ery, nursery.

Now we don't always hear that nursery, that do we? Sometimes it sounds like nursery so I can understand why someone might choose that other spelling.

But the correct one is with -ery and the queen's jewellery was very precious.

Here our root word is jewel.

We need to double the consonant L and add -ery, jewellery.

Remember there's that job, which is a jeweller, a person who works at making jewellery and that has a double L as well.

So for our practise task now, we are going to have a go at spelling some words that contain -ery suffix.

Remember to: Sound it out.

Think of the root word.

Remember the spelling rules we've looked at for adding suffixes.

And read the word and check and see if you're happy with how it looks.

Are you ready to do some writing? I'm gonna read the words to us now.

Just listen carefully.

The first word, number one, is scenery.

I looked out at the beautiful scenery.

The next word is gallery.

Number three, is nursery.

Number four, jewellery.

I wore a piece of jewellery.

And number five, mystery.

Mystery.

I'll say this again.

Number one, scenery.

Two, gallery.

I went to an art gallery.

Number three, nursery.

Number four, jewellery.

Number five, mystery.

Off you go.

Excellent job team.

Really great application of the suffix rules that we've been looking at.

And really careful consideration for the root words as well.

If there was an obvious one.

The first word is scenery.

My root word here is scene.

Now be careful with this word 'cause it has an "sc", okay, making this sound at the beginning.

My root word is scene, spelled S-C-E-N-E, scene.

Like the scene from a movie or a film.

Now this word ends in an E, so I have to remove the E and then add -ery.

So scenery is spelled like this.

Gallery was the next one.

This one had no obvious root word.

It does have a double L in it though, G-A-L-L-E-R-Y, gallery.

Number three was nursery.

Now be careful 'cause this sounds just like a nursery, but we know we've been looking at our -ery, nursery.

Nursery, nurse is our root word here, ending in an E, remove the E and then add -ery, nursery.

Jewellery.

This has to have a double L.

Jewel is the root word.

We double the L and add -ery jewellery.

Mystery was the next one similar to the word mysterious.

So if you know how to spell that we'll know how spell the first part of this word.

It's our -ery, M-Y-S-T-E-R-Y, mystery.

How did you do that? What magical mistakes have you made? Share your learning and make any corrections now.

Onto our next learning cycle then, which is going to be using the suffix -ary.

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

Let's read some: Dictionary.

Necessary.

Ordinary.

Primary.

Secondary, Dietary.

Military.

So dictionary here is a noun, it's a thing.

The other words here are adjectives.

They describe nouns.

<v ->ary here, sometimes sounds like -ery or also -ry.

</v> It doesn't always sound like -ary, necessary, ordinary, sounds like the -ery, E-R-Y.

Primary or primary, depending on how you pronounce it.

I might say primary.

So it just sounds like -ry, R-Y, secondary or secondary, depending on how you pronounce it.

Dietary or dietary.

Again, it can be confusing, can't it? Because you don't always clearly hear that it's -ary.

So be really careful with this.

What word class here is dictionary and ordinary? Read the sentences and see if you can figure it out.

Brilliant job.

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

Dictionary here is a noun.

It is a thing.

The soup tasted very ordinary.

Ordinary here is describing the soup so if there's an adjective, our -ary suffix can be used to spell both adjectives and nouns.

Some words ending in our -ary have root words that we can recognise and some don't.

The -ary ending is less common, remember than our -ery ending.

Dictionary has the root word diction, which is your choice and use of words and phrases in your speech or writing.

There's a linking meaning there, isn't there? 'Cause you go to a dictionary to get the definition of the words that you might use.

Necessary and ordinary do not have root words that I can recognise.

And literary does not have a really clear root word I know, but I know it's linked to literature.

So if I know that word, I know how to spell part of literary.

So I want you to hear match the root words on the left hand side, complement, station, imagine, and prime to the word ending in our suffix -ary.

Pause the video match them now.

Brilliant.

So I'm hoping you saw something like this.

Compliment becomes complimentary.

Station becomes stationary.

Imagine becomes imaginary and prime becomes primary.

I wonder if you notice how some of these words have changed.

These root words have changed in their spelling when we've added this suffix.

We're gonna be having a conversation about that now.

So what happens to these words when we add our suffix -ary? Well, second becomes secondary.

I don't have to change the spelling at all.

Here, the root word ends in a consonant.

So I just have to add the suffix.

Prime and imagine, well, they both ended in E, don't they? A vowel, and our suffix, -ary begins with a vowel.

So I need to remove that E before adding my -ary suffix because my root word ends in a vowel, an E, I remove that vowel, the E and then add my -ary suffix.

Watch out for these homophones.

Stationery and stationary.

Remember, homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.

The stationer sells stationery.

Stationery here refers to the writing materials and office supplies like paper and pencils.

So they're stationery with an E, but stationary with an A: The train was stationary.

This means it was standing still at the station.

Stationary with an -ary means not moving and fixed in one place.

Watch out for these words.

The double letters in necessary with our -ary suffix can also be hard to remember.

Here's a really cool strategy you can use.

I remember that a shirt has one collar and two sleeves, and this helps you remember the double S and the single C in necessary.

Have a read of these sentences for me and choose the correct spelling of the highlighted words.

Off you go.

Brilliant job team.

"I went to the stationery shop to buy a pen." Oh, homo phone alert.

Which stationery is it? It's the stationery as in those nouns, those things that you can buy a pencils and paper.

Hmm, which spelling was it? It was our -ery.

Fantastic, stationery.

"The ordinary soap works just as well as the new one." Hmm, ordinary, Which suffix have we been looking at adding either -ery or -ary, it might sound like -ry, ordinary, but it's -ary and it is necessary, sorry, is it necessary to sign in? It's a question.

Is it necessary to sign in? What's our rule here? One collar, two sleeves.

So a single C and two S's in necessary.

Brilliant.

We are now going to have a go at spelling some words that contain our -ary suffix.

Remember to sound it out.

Think of the root word if there's an obvious one.

Think of the spelling rules for adding our suffix that we've looked at.

And read the word and check.

Listen to me carefully.

The first word is ordinary.

Number two is primary.

Number three is secondary.

Number four is necessary.

And number five is imaginary as in made up.

I'll say this one more time.

Ordinary, primary, secondary, necessary, imaginary.

Pause the video and have a go at writing those words now.

Brilliant job team.

Excellent application of our -ary suffix at the end of the word there.

And really good consideration of the root words if there was one and the rules that we've looked at.

Ordinary, no obvious root word here is there.

Ordinary.

Now some might say ordinary, so it might not sound like -ary.

So our choice between -ary or -ery.

And we're concentrating on -ary in this learning cycle.

So our correct spelling is this one here, ordinary, as in normal, not extraordinary.

Primary.

Our root word here is prime.

Prime ends in an E.

We have to remove the E and then add our -ary suffix.

The next one was secondary.

Our root word here is second ending in a consonant.

So we can just add our a RY suffix to create secondary.

Remember, it might not always sound like -ary might sound like -ry, be careful.

The next one was necessary.

One collar, two sleeves.

So one C two S's necessary and imaginary.

My root word here is imagine which ends in an E.

I need to remove the E and then add my -ary suffix.

So this is my correct spelling here.

How did you do? Share your learning.

Share any magical mistakes and make any corrections now.

Off you go.

Onto our final learning cycle then, which is going to be applying spellings within a sentence.

Let's read some curriculum words first: My turn, your turn.

February.

February.

Hmm, interest.

I have no interest in that.

Interest.

What do you notice about these spellings? I've already noticed that one of them has our -ary suffix.

Hmm, pause the video.

Consider how they're spelt to how they sound.

Is anything tricky about them? Have a think.

Great.

I've noticed a couple of things.

February is spelled, Feb-ru-ary.

It can be easily misspelt because it can be pronounced slightly differently.

Quite often rather than really pronouncing February, I say February.

Saying the word how it is spelt can help us to memorise this spelling.

Try it for me.

Feb-ru-ary.

Brilliant.

February and interest has an E in the middle, but we don't always hear it because quite often I don't say interest.

I just say interest.

Doesn't sound like that, E is there.

Saying the word how to spell can also help us interest.

Oh, quick fire round.

Which of these words that we've just looked at is spelled correctly? Point to the correct spelling of February now.

Brilliant.

Remember Feb-ru-ary and our -ary suffix there.

And of course it has to have a capital letter because it's a proper noun.

Interest, point to it now.

Excellent job team.

Remember in-te-rest, there's that naughty E there, which we could quite often forget.

I'm sure you got those right.

We are now going to have a go at writing a sentence.

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

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

We're gonna use these strategies to help us remember the sentence.

The first one is to repeat the sentence several times out loud.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

The next strategy is to picture what's happening in your head.

Picture the primary school, picture the delivery happening, picture the bakery, picture the time of year, February.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

And finally counting the words on our fingers so we make sure we don't miss any.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

I make that 12.

Have a good at say in that sentence and counting the words out now.

Excellent.

So remember to sound out each word, look out for those common exception and curriculum words.

And don't forget to check your sentence, punctuation and of course, give consideration to those suffixes and the rules around those suffixes that we have been adding today.

I'll say the sentence one more time.

The primary school will get a delivery from the bakery in February.

Off you go.

Excellent job team.

Really, really great writing.

Some beautiful handwriting, some great application of the rules that we've been looking at.

So let's check our work and make any corrections as we go along.

The, obviously needs to have a capital letter, primary, our root word here is prime.

We chop off the E and add -ary primary.

Remember, it's that -ary spelling.

School, don't forget there's S-C-H here, will get a delivery.

Ooh, deliver was our root word here.

We're just adding a, removing that part and adding our -ery, delivery.

From the bakery.

Bake is our root word here.

Remove the E and then add our -ery in February.

Capital F.

This is one of our curriculum words we've looked at.

And then Febru, R-U-A-R-Y.

And of course, a full stop.

How did you get on there? What have you learned? Did you make any magical mistakes? In particular, how did you get on with the words primary, delivery, bakery and February? Share your learning now and make any corrections.

Off you go.

Brilliant spelling today, team, we've been looking at the suffixes, -ary and -ery today, and the fact that they can turn some words into nouns.

Remember, they can also sound very similar.

The ending -ery is the most common and usually has an identifiable root word when a word ends in a consonant, we just add our suffix.

When a word ends in an E, we remove the E and then add the suffix.

And remember, stationary and stationary, -ary and -ery are homophones, words that sound the same, but have different spellings and different meanings.

Keep up the great spelling and practise.

See if you can spot any of these suffixes in your reading and writing.

See you again soon.
