Letters and Sounds

Phase 6

This week, we will learn about adding the suffixes _er and _est to words.  Do you know what a suffix is? 

A suffix is a letter or group of letters that goes on the end of a word and changes the word's meaning. 

 

For example, high + est = highest  or high + er = higher.

 

We could say:

That mountain is so high.   Is the Shanghai Tower higher than The Shard?  Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

 

Tasks - PowerPoint + Worksheet:

Can you watch the PPT attached and then add _er or _est onto the ends of these words?
