Students at this level are secure with vowel patterns in one-syllable words and are ready to study inflected endings, syllable juncture and division, open and closed syllables, accented and unaccented syllables, and the first prefixes and suffixes. Instruction focuses on the spelling changes that happen when endings are added and on where to divide a longer word. By analyzing multisyllabic words, students strengthen spelling while preparing for the meaning-based word study ahead.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eNEED PRINTABLES FOR THE ENTIRE SYLLABLES AND AFFIXES LEVEL?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.tarheelstateteacher.com\/products\/syllables-affixes-worksheets-spelling-activities\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee the Syllables and Affixes Printable Bundle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (contains all 4 resources)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eOr, Shop By Activity:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.tarheelstateteacher.com\/products\/syllables-affixes-spellers-word-study-notebook\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWord Study Notebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.tarheelstateteacher.com\/products\/syllables-affixes-spellers-word-search-activities\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWord Searches\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.tarheelstateteacher.com\/products\/syllables-affixes-fill-in-the-blank-spelling-activity\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eFill in the Blank Word List Activity\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.tarheelstateteacher.com\/products\/syllables-affixes-weekly-spelling-homework-words-their-way\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWeekly Spelling Homework \u0026amp; Word Lists\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eCopyright © Tammy Roose, Tarheelstate Teacher.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe purchase of this resource gives the buyer permission to download and copy for single classroom use only.
