In this objective, children will learn how to add suffix -ist to bases and stems. Over three  20-minute lessons, they will:
·       Understand how adding the suffix -ist changes the meaning of the base or stem.

·       Explore bases and stems, developing understanding of how words are formed by combining with different morphemes.
·       Build on understanding to decode complex words and break them down into their morphemes.
·       Apply three spelling rules:

Double the final consonant letter when a word ends in a CVC pattern and the stress is on the last syllable, then add the vowel suffix.
Drop the final silent e vowel letter, then add the vowel suffix.
Just add the suffix -y.
