Mastering Suffixes: Decoding -tion, -sion, -al, and -ial in Fourth Grade

In Lesson 23 of our fourth-grade decoding series, students enhance their understanding of suffixes like -tion, -sion, -al, and -ial. By listening to words read aloud, they'll identify syllables, division points, and root words. For example, students will break down "concentration" into 4 syllables, understanding its root "concentrate". Interactive partner work encourages collaboration as they detect suffixes in various words, deepening their phonetic skills. Additionally, they'll practice decoding from social studies books, gaining real-world applications.
