In this objective, children will learn how to add the suffix  -al to bases and stems. Over three 20-minute lessons, they will:
·        Recap learning of morphemes
·        Learn that the suffix -al means “action, process or related to”
·        Learn that adding the suffix -al to a base or stem often forms an adjective
·        Build stems by combining morphemes
·        Apply three spelling rules:

Drop the final silent e vowel letter, then add the vowel suffix.
Change the final letter y after a consonant letter to i, then add the suffix (except -ing).
Just add the suffix.

·        Learn that the vowel suffix -al doesn’t trigger doubling a consonant
·        Explore the etymology of words with the suffix -al
·        Solve word sums
·        Reinforce learning with practical games
