Fix Its Suffixes Fiction Phase 6

The Fix Its: Suffixes and Prefixes decodable reader set is designed to support students in Grade 1 as they learn about common suffixes and prefixes, specifically the -s, -es, -ing, -ed, -er, -est, and the prefix un-. This set includes 12 engaging fiction readers with colourful illustrations, which help children identify target affixes in context. Each word in the text is carefully chosen to allow students to recognise and understand the function of these affixes, enhancing their vocabulary and understanding of word structures. By highlighting the target affix in the text, students can easily consolidate the meaning across various words, improving their ability to decode unfamiliar words. This set aligns with the national curriculum and is an excellent resource for reinforcing the progression of phonics and grammar. Ideal for children aged 6+ years, the Fix Its set is designed to work at the Book Band Turquoise (Fluency 2) and Guided Reading Levels J. These readers are suitable for Year 2 students, with a reading level between 17 and 18. They provide a solid foundation for mastering word formation, spelling, and comprehension.
