Description
Older striving readers often struggle with the three sounds of the suffix -ed (/t/, /d/, and /id/), and direct practice is essential for fluency and comprehension. After all, this suffix carries meaning!
This dominoes game makes mastering suffixes engaging and interactive for middle school students who need extra reading support.
With 50 dominoes per set and two levels of play, your students will get repeated exposure to words ending in -ed—but in a way that feels like a game, not a worksheet. Perfect for small group instruction, centers, or intervention time!
What’s Included:
✅ Complete set of dominoes that printed at regular or extended sizes
✅ Two levels of play for scaffolding and differentiation
✅ Blank dominoes for extending the activity
✅ Directions for setup and easy storage idea
