    Lesson 13 Adjectives with suffixes –ful,


    –less
    Focus forming adjectives using suffixes such as –ful, –less, –y
    Key terms adjective, suffix, noun
    Focus text Prince Herman was a careful prince.
    Prince Edgar was a careless prince.

    TEACH
    Show the focus text. Read aloud the two sentences. Discuss how the two princes are different and which
    words make this clear [careful, careless]. Ask: What might a careful prince do? What about a careless
    prince? Establish the different meanings of these two words [e.g. full of care; without care].
    Discuss what type of word is highlighted [adjectives: they tell us more about the noun – the prince]. Ask
    the children what they notice about the two adjectives [they both begin with the word ‘care’ but they have
    different endings, –ful and –less].
    Explain that the endings –ful and –less are called suffixes. A suffix is a group of letters added on to the end
    of a word to make a new word with a different meaning. For example, –ful and –less are added to words
    to make adjectives, which can be used to describe people or things. Establish that –ful means ‘full of’; –less
    means ‘without’.
    Use two or three other words [e.g. hope; power; fear] in the focus text to replace ‘care’. Discuss the
    meaning of the new words you make [e.g. hopeful/hopeless; powerful/powerless; fearful/fearless]. Ask
    the children to think of other adjectives with these suffixes. You may wish to point out that –ful and –less
    cannot always be added to the same word [e.g. ‘forgetful’ is a word but ‘forgetless’ is not].
    Discuss other familiar suffixes used to form adjectives, such as the suffix –y [e.g. a lucky/sleepy/cheeky/
    greedy prince].

    EXTEND Look at other suffixes used to form adjectives, such as –ish [e.g. foolish] and –en [e.g. wooden].

    PRACTISE
    Pupil book page 20

    APPLY
    • The children write stories about characters [e.g. Fearless Fergus; Powerful Percy; Forgetful Felix]
    to show the meaning of the words. Alternatively, they write what happens when two contrasting
    characters meet [e.g. Careful Colin and Careless Cora].
    • When reading stories or poems together, collect adjectives ending with –ful or –less [e.g. beautiful;
    pitiful; restless]. Display these in the classroom and encourage the children to use them when writing.
    • In other subjects, draw attention to adjectives formed by adding suffixes [e.g. in design and technology
    or cooking – useful; bendy; tasteless].
    • Challenge the children to use at least one adjective ending with –ful or –less when writing a story or
    description.

    ASSESS
    Dictation: My granny is forget but she is a wonder cook.
    Say: Two words in this sentence need a suffix. Underline the words and write them correctly.
    Answer: My granny is forgetful but she is a wonderful cook.
