Suffix and Prefix Investigation / Sorting
Most common suffix (-ful, -est, -ing, -less, -ly, -er) and prefix (re-, un-, dis-, mis-, pre-) investigation worksheets.
Each suffix and prefix meaning is given, plus an example.
Can be differentiated in numerous ways:
1) Students think of their own example of words with common prefixes and suffixes. [page 1 & page 2]
2) Students can sort the provided examples. [page 3] and add some of their own
3) Students can decide which prefix or suffix works with the given base words and then add them to the table in the appropriate place. [page 4] (answers will vary)
You may choose to do just suffixes or prefixes in one lesson or print back to back and do it all at once.
I always like to get students to work in pairs and help each other complete worksheets and also add other examples.
Uploaded a PDF in a Sasson Font & an editable word doc. in comic sans.
Hope students around the world enjoy them. Please rate and comment, all my resources are shared freely.

Conjunctions (Connectives) PowerPoint
next, so, because, but, until, before, if, then, until, also, instead of, meanwhile.
Use conjunctions two join to short sentences together.
6 examples with multiple choices of conjunctions.
Followed by a clear example of using the chosen conjunction to make one longer sentence. After this students are asked if the sentence makes sense, finally the Power Point rewrites the new, longer sentence to reinforce the change from 2 short sentences into 1 longer sentence.

I will also print out a large 'to achieve by xx/xx/xxxx' so that the goals are time sensitive and display this alongside the student's posters.
