Suffix Practice Worksheet

Read each word carefully. A suffix is a group of letters added to the end of a word. Practise spotting and using words ending in -ary, -ory, -ery, -ant and -ent.

Sort the Words

Write each word under the matching word ending. Use every word once.

1.Word bank: dictionary, laboratory, pottery, servant, confident, boundary, sensory, bravery, distant, brilliant.

Write and Use Suffix Words

2.Choose three words from the word bank and write each one in large outline letters. Decorate each letter using a different colour.
3.Imagine Dylan and Layla reach a hut during a mountain hike. Write one sentence about their journey using at least two words from the word bank.
4.Write a short story of three or four sentences about Xavier's mountain hike. Use as many words from the word bank as you can, and underline each one.
