Suffixes: -ed and -ing
I can correctly form words using the suffixes -ed and -ing.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- A suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word which creates another word.
- The words start with a lead in and finish with a lead out.
- The pencil does not lift when forming the join, only after to add the cross to a t or a dot to an i or a j.
- There are four cursive joins.
- The join used depends on which letter is joining to which letter within a letter string.
Common misconception
Children may want to take their pencil off before forming the suffix as they see it as separate to the root word.
Encourage children by modelling and emphasising that the pencil only comes off the page once the letter string is complete. Getting them to identify the last letter before starting can help to remind them of this.
