We are going to continue learning about suffixes.

Watch carefully

We are going to look at adding the suffix '-est', '-er'.

Look at these adjectives.

rude, brave, nice, late, ripe

When we add the suffix '-er' or '-est' we need to take off the 'e'.

Let's look

rude - ruder, rudest

brave - braver, bravest

Now you try adding the suffix '-er' and '-est' to these root words.

nice, late, ripe

Now write each new word 3 times in your handwriting book.

nicer, nicer, nicer

nicest, nicest, nicest

later, later, later

latest, latest, latest

riper, riper, riper

ripest, ripest, ripest

If you are learning at home, write these in your blended learning book and send a picture to your teacher.
