This week’s spelling activity focuses on adding the suffixes er and est and is due in school on Thursday 28 November.
When we add er to a word like nice, it creates the meaning of more. So, nicer means more nice. Adding er to a word like build, creates the meaning of someone who. So builder means someone who builds.
When we add est to a word like nice, it creates the meaning of most. So, nicest means the most nice.
Think of 8 words which you can add the suffix er to and use three in a sentence. Then, think of 8 words you can add the suffix est to and use three in a sentence.
