• Read a grade-level passage, identifying words with suffixes
• Determine the meaning of a word containing a suffix.
• Answer comprehension questions about a grade-level text.
• Complete sentences using context clues and words that contain suffixes.

Using Your Suffix Passage Worksheets

In addition to individual student work time, use this worksheet as a:
