Suffix Practice
Word Building Series — Marcia Reid
Unlock the endings that unlock words! Suffix Practice is a hands-on companion to the Word Building deck series, teaching children the most common suffixes in English — from -ing and -ed to -tion, -ity, -ology, and beyond.
Each suffix is presented with its meaning and real example words, helping children see the pattern rather than memorise words one at a time. Once they know that -ful means "full of" or -less means "without," a whole new layer of vocabulary opens up.
Together with the companions Prefix Practice and Word Roots Practice, children can play engaging games like Keeps and Build & Steal, turning suffix practice into a genuinely fun activity — perfect for one player or a whole family table.
Why it works:
Builds real reading and spelling confidence by teaching word parts, not just whole words
Suffixes appear in thousands of English words — this single skill pays off again and again
Game-based practice keeps kids engaged without it feeling like a worksheet
Pairs naturally with the Prefixes and Roots decks for complete word-building mastery
Perfect for home educators, tutors, and classrooms working through the Learning to Read – Back to Basics program.
