How to use it
- Teach or review the rule first with the latin suffixes: -tion, -able, -ment lesson. It takes about 10 minutes.
- Read the directions for each part out loud. Early readers can point while you read.
- Check Part A together before your child goes on, so any confusion gets fixed early.
- Use the answer key on the last page.

Tips for doing it together
- Keep it short. One page a day is plenty for most young children, and two short sessions beat one long one.
- Let your child read each sentence out loud before answering. Many mistakes get caught by ear.
- Mark a mistake with a small dot instead of an X, and let your child find and fix it. That's where the learning happens.
What your child is practicing
Latin suffixes like -tion, -able, -ment and -ous change a word's meaning. The 3rd grade standard asks kids to read words with these suffixes and work out what they mean.
