What is the same and what is different about these two dinosaurs?


Take a look at the words that your teacher has written down. What do you

notice?




All of the words have the same ending: ‘er’

Can you say the ‘er’

sound?



We can add ‘er’ to an adjective to help us compare two nouns.

taller

shorter



For some words, all

you need to do is add ‘er’ to the end of

the word, like this…

short + er = shorter

tall + er = taller

long + er = longer



Can you write the new ‘er’ adjective that’s being made here?

slow + er = __________



Let’s read the new word together! Can you use it in a sentence?

slow + er = slower




soft + er = __________



soft + er = softer





dark + er = __________




dark + er = darker



Can you finish the missing word in this sentence by adding ‘er’ to it?

The small dinosaur is ________ than the large dinosaur.(fast)



The small dinosaur is faster than the large dinosaur.

How did you do? Let’s try another?




The scary dinosaur is ________ than the spiky dinosaur.(loud)



The scary dinosaur is louder than the spiky dinosaur.

skin.(smooth)
