Suffixes ‘er’, ‘ed’ and ‘ing’ Objective Starters

Year 1

This activity helps children practise adding the common suffixes ‘er’, ‘ing’ and ‘ed’ to root words. Pupils are asked to complete sentences, circle the correct option and rewrite words with each suffix. Tasks like these build spelling confidence and show how suffixes can change both the meaning and tense of words. This makes it a useful activity for consolidation, early morning work or as a short starter in a grammar lesson.
