Suffixes are small parts

at the end of words that

have meaning. The suffix

-ed on the end of a verb

tells us that this is a past

tense verb. The suffix -

ing on the end of a verb

tells us that it is

happening now (present

tense).

How many words can you

think of that end in -ed

and -ing? eg. jumped,

jumping, run, running,

etc. Make a list of at least

ten verbs and write them

with the suffixes-ed and -

ing.

the beginning of words

that have meaning.

The Tree Door

Story starter!

The creaky, old doors

had not been opened for

years. The beast had

always lived inside, but

nobody dared to visit.

Noises that echoed from

the gaps in the door had

haunted those who heard

them. Nobody knew what

the narrow, mossy steps

led to. Nobody knew what

was lurking within.

One day, the heavy,

wooden doors slowly

began to open with a

groan…

Can you continue the

story of the mysterious

door?

Write down your story

and read your finished
