Suffixes Word List Worksheet – 5th Grade Grammar Practice + Answer Key

The Suffixes Word List Worksheet gives fifth grade students focused, no-prep practice with suffixes. It is a print-and-go grammar page that fits easily into a mini-lesson, a center rotation, or a quick review day.

Learning objective: Students will practice suffixes and apply the skill independently by completing each task on the page.

Why it works: Students stay on task because the directions are short and the practice is the right size for one sitting. Teachers save time because the page is ready to print and easy to check.

What's included:

• 1 printable worksheet page

• Clear, student-friendly directions

• Answer key (1 page)

• Cover page

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Add -age, -ive, -tion, or -ure to the base word in parentheses so that the new word correctly completes the sentence. Then write the new word on the line." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.

Grade level: Designed for fifth grade students. It also works well for fourth grade and sixth grade students who need extra practice or a fresh review.

How to use it: Use it for whole-group practice, small-group instruction, independent work, centers, morning work, homework, or an emergency sub plan.

Answer key: An answer key is included, so you can check work quickly or let students self-correct.

Teaching tips and variations:

• Keep a few copies in your early finisher bin for independent review.

• Use it as an exit ticket the day after a suffixes lesson to see who needs more support.

• Project the page and solve one or two items as a class before students work on their own.
