Adults: Once again, start by reviewing what a suffix is (a letter or a group of letters that are added to the end of a root word to change its meaning/use.)

Today we will be focusing on the –ful suffix.

The ful suffix modifies nouns to make them adjectives e.g.

use + ful = useful

Even though the –ful suffix means ‘full of’, it is only spelt with one ‘l’.

The tasks are saved as an additional document (0.4 Monday Ful Suffix Task but as always, they can be written down on any piece pf paper).

LG: Use suffixes to form adjectives

Adults: Today we will be focusing on the –less suffix. Ask children what they think this suffix means if ‘ful’ means full of.

The less suffix modifies nouns to make them adjectives e.g.

use + less = useless

The –less suffix means ‘without’ so useless means without any use.

The tasks are saved as an additional document (0. 6 Tuesday Less Suffix Task but as always, they can be written down on any piece pf paper).

TASK 2

LEXIA or Bugclub

Log into LEXIA and complete some of your levels there.

Friday/ Each day for a little

while!

You will need:An iPad or

computer to log into your LEXIA

or BugClub

Remember this is not a race to get through the levels.

You should be trying to achieve 60 minutes a week (maybe try and do a few extra just to be sure)!

Adults: LEXIA is an effective learning resource for children to assist with building reading skills, however this is only effective through regular practice. Children should be spending no more than 30 minutes at a time on LEXIA so they can come back and practice previously taught skills. The aim is for around 60 minutes in a week. If children spend a lot more time than the 60-80 minutes of LEXIA in a week, they will progress through levels quickly, but not necessarily have mastered the skills for their year group.

If you don’t have access to LEXIA or would prefer to do other reading or BugClub then please do this. Remember to answer the questions carefully in the quiz

sections! When the questions have been answered, the bug’s eyes will be closed.
