Suffixes PowerPoint Lesson with companion handout

Are you searching for a step-by-step PowerPoint that can be used to introduce common suffixes to your students in a way that will grab their attention? If so, this highly interactive PowerPoint may be exactly what you are looking for! After defining affix, prefix, and suffix, students learn the meaning of the six common suffixes: -er (most), -est, -ful, -less, -able, and -er (person). Then, there are more than 20 practice slides where students must identify a suffixed word in the sentence and the meaning of the suffix.

PowerPoints filled with visuals are ideal for teaching new content to students because PowerPoints tend to be highly engaging and concepts can be easily broken down into understandable chunks of information. But let's face it... they are so time-consuming to create! Fortunately, now you have an option of using one that is already complete, kid-tested, and ready to go for you!
