Unit 6:
Baseword – a baseword is a word that can stand alone as a word or have something added to it.
Suffix – A suffix is an ending that can be added to a baseword. Adding the suffix –s The suffix –s can be added to basewords. This unit has words that are plural nouns and singular verbs. (ex. hits, pens).
When tapping out a word with a suffix, students only tap out the baseword. The suffix is NOT tapped. You might say “with an s” after tapping out the baseword to emphasize the suffix, but it is not to be tapped.
Mark it up – underline the baseword and then circle the suffix
When reading words with a suffix, students must always say the baseword, then the whole word. This habit helps focus students’ attention on the structure of the word.
Plurals – A plural word is a word that means more than one thing. For example the word shop is a baseword. When the suffix –s is added to shop, the word becomes plural (shops).
The letter s sometimes sounds like /z/ when it is added to words as a suffix. For example, if you add the suffix -s to the word bug, the letter s makes the /z/ sound in the new word bugs.
