Root Plus Suffix Equals
Listen to your teacher say a root word and a suffix. Write the new word in your book. Watch your teacher write the word, then check yours and correct if necessary.
Learning
Add the suffix -ation, e.g. exploration.
Read the following pairs of words with me and clap the syllables:
inform information
prepare preparation
What is the suffix in the second word in each case? How is this suffix
different to the suffix from session 1
Like the suffix -tion, adding the suffix -ation turns verbs into nouns.
For some root words, the -ation suffix is added with no change to the root:
expect expectation
present presentation
When the root word ends in e, the e is dropped before the -ation suffix is added.
imagine imagination
invite invitation
Let's use the Sticky Word Strategy Colourful Words to practise spelling the words:
transport transportation
prepare preparation
Practise
Use the same strategy for these words:
information
expectation
presentation
adoration
sensation
admiration
exploration
observation
quotation
