Suffixes are important elements of the English language yet all too often instruction in this area is minimal.  Suffix instruction empowers students in both reading and spelling.  This presentation will provide you with “the scoop” on suffixes by including the importance of suffix instruction, definition of a suffix, what suffixes may do, types of suffixes, suffix rules and application, and morphological connections.  Suffix instruction is beneficial for all students.  For the struggling student, it is essential. 

The targeted audience for this presentation are educators or parents at the beginner or intermediate level.

2 clock hours are available.
