Exercise for mind and body! Write some suffixes — word parts that come at the end of a word — on the ground with chalk. Have your reader jump to each suffix, read it aloud, and name a word that ends with the suffix. Bonus points for using the word in a sentence!

Here are some common suffixes to try:

-ness

-ous

-ive

-tion

-al

-ly

-able

-ity

-ful

-ment

-ible

-ture

Word Play

Did you know that almost half of all English words come from Latin? Help your reader build their vocabulary by exploring these Latin roots:

aud (to hear): audible, audience, audio

ject (to throw): eject, projectile, injection

port (to carry): export, portable, transport

rupt (to break): disrupt, interrupt, erupt

struct (to build): obstruct, construction

tract (to pull): extract, tractor, distraction

Create a set of word cards together — write one word per card — talking about the meaning of each word, highlighting the Latin root, and brainstorming related words. Then, look for words with the same Latin roots next time you read together.

It’s raining cats and dogs. Or is it? Phrases like this — called idioms — don’t mean what they seem to say and can be tricky for some readers. Talk about the meaning of these idioms together:

to go out on a limb (to take a risk)

to have cold feet (to become afraid)

to be down to earth (to be sensible)

to be all ears (to be ready to listen)

to be fishy (to be questionable)

to hold your horses (to wait)

Get the ball rolling (See what we did there?) by playing charades with these idioms. To be correct, players need to guess the idiom and explain what it means.

Un ejercicio para la mente y el cuerpo. Escriba algunos sufijos (partes de palabras que van al final de una palabra) con tiza en el piso. Indíquele al lector que salte a cada sufijo, que lo lea en voz alta y que diga una palabra que termine con él. ¡Ganará puntos adicionales si usa la palabra en una oración!

A continuación hay algunos sufijos comunes que puede probar:

-ness-ous-ive

-tion -al-ly

-able-ity-ful

-ment-ible-ture

Word Play

¿Sabía que casi la mitad de todas las palabras del inglés provienen del latín? Ayude al lector a desarrollar su vocabulario con este ejercicio de exploración de las raíces latinas:

aud (to hear): audible, audience, audioject (to throw): eject, projectile, injectionport (to carry): export, portable, transportrupt (to break): disrupt, interrupt, eruptstruct (to build): obstruct, constructiontract (to pull): extract, tractor, distraction

Realicen juntos un grupo de tarjetas de palabras (escriban una palabra por tarjeta) y hablen sobre el significado de cada palabra, señalen la raíz latina y busquen palabras relacionadas. La próxima vez que lean juntos, busquen palabras con las mismas raíces latinas.

It’s raining cats and dogs. ¿O no? Este tipo de frases, llamadas “expresiones idiomáticas”, no tienen significado literal y pueden ser engañosas para algunos lectores. Hablen sobre el significado de estas expresiones idiomáticas:

to go out on a limb (asumir un riesgo)to have cold feet (asustarse)to be down to earth (ser sensato)

to be all ears (estar listo para escuchar) to be fishy (ser cuestionable o dudoso)to hold your horses (esperar)

Get the ball rolling (¿vio lo que hicimos allí?) jugando a la mímica con estas expresiones idiomáticas. Para acertar, los jugadores tienen que adivinar la expresión idiomática y explicar su significado.
