In this objective, children will learn how to add suffix -y to bases to form words that carry a sense of “describing”. In three 20-minute lessons, they will:

• Spell simple base spellings
• Review learning of consonant and vowel letters
• Learn that adding suffix -y to some noun bases turns them into adjectives in a sentence
• Learn three spelling rules:

1. Just add the suffix -y
2. Double the final consonant letter when a base ends in a CVC pattern, then add the suffix -y.
3. Drop the final silent e vowel letter, then add the suffix -y

• Solve word sums
• Reinforce learning with practical games
