Learning

Focus: Create diminutives using the suffix -ette, e.g. courgette.

Remember - a suffix is an ending, used at the end of a word to turn it into another word. It can change the word class. 

Shared read these words with me and clap the syllables:

courgette

kitchenette

statuette

suffragette

Can you identify the suffix in each word?

The suffix -ette means small or diminutive and sometimes the female version of something. It comes from French.

courgette (small marrow)

kitchenette (small kitchen)

statuette (small statue)

suffragette (a woman who campaigned for the right of women to vote)

Now, copycat read the following words after me, and clap the syllables:

palette

pipette

omelette

launderette

baguette

pirouette

Although there is no obvious root, the above words all end in -ette.
