Prior to this objective, teachers should assess the suggested morphemes for a Setting description using the provided materials. If learning is secure, proceed to suffix -ish objective; otherwise, refer to resources for additional support on  suffix -ness and suffixes -ed, suffix -ing - adjectives (Y2)
In this objective, children will learn how to add suffix - ish to bases and stems. Over three 20-minute lessons, they will:

 ·       Understand how adding the suffix -ish changes the meaning of the base or stem
·      Recognise that the suffix -ish is used to form new words
·      Understand that the suffix -ish can be used colloquially to communicate meaning
·    Explore forming their own words using the suffix -ish

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.
