Description
Give your older students a clear, age-appropriate way to understand suffixes, parts of speech, plural endings, and the spelling changes that happen when you add suffixes. These posters are perfect for struggling readers and writers who need quick, consistent reference tools during reading, writing, and word study.
Use them as classroom wall charts, small-group intervention supports, or composition notebook notes (print at 85% for an easy fit).
