ABLE & IBLE Suffix Spelling Game - Morphology Generalization Visual & Answer Key

Figuring out when to use -ABLE vs -IBLE can be tough without knowing the associated generalizations. The activity lays out all of the considerations a student must make when determining how to spell the suffix meaning

CVC nonsense word board game
I am a huge fan of nonsense words! I've worked with so many students who have been able read words by memory but have a hard time when encountering unfamiliar vocabulary words. To ensure that students are applying learned skills at the most basic level, I love to use nonsense words. They are a great indicator as to whether or not a student is independently applying their segmenting and sound-symbol association skills.

Celestial Spellings of /shul/ with -tial and -cial
Sometimes we teach connective i concepts alone and sometimes we teach them as part of a suffix. With -tial and -cial, we teach them as a unit because they say /shul/. But how do you figure out which spelling to use? This game is the perfect opportunity for students to discover the spelling generalization. As they play, as students to identify the letter before the suffix. At the end, the student can determine what type of letter usually precedes the suffix (it is a generalization, after all!).

Prefix MIS- Word Building Board Game
This board game helps students develop their morphology and vocabulary skills by creating new words from a prefix and root word. It provides an excellent opportunity to learn how language can be rigid and flexible. For example, misspell literally means to "wrongly spell" while the word misdeed means "immoral or wicked deed." This game was a lot of fun to make and taught me a few new words in the process. I hope you and your students will enjoy it as much as I have with mine.

Subject Verb BINGO
The goal of the game is to create a logical simple sentence from a subject and verb pair. With 30 different subject cards, and 10 pre-filled BINGO boards with 24 words each, the potential for this game is immense! Most of the verbs on the pre-filled cards are Tier 2 vocabulary for 6th graders, but if that doesn't work for you, use the reproducible blank BINGO card option to have students fill in the cards with their own vocabulary words. I hope you enjoy this game as much as my students did!

Additional biographical information
I'm dyslexic and really struggled to learn to read and spell. I was lucky enough to have creative and passionate teachers who helped me be successful academically, which eventually led me to my own path as a special education teacher/reading specialist. Even with all the support I had, I wasn't exposed to explicit phonics instruction until I learned the Orton-Gillingham method in my first job out of college. It is not an exaggeration to say that learning phonics at the age of 22 changed the trajectory of my life. I will never forget the moment I was taught that c and g have two sounds. I had made it all the way through four years of college without ever understanding this! As a result, I have made it a mission to blend my creativity and my appreciation of phonics to ensure other students have access to age-appropriate explicit phonics lessons.
