Vocabulary Strategy: Suffixes: -ion, -ish, -tion A suffix is a syllable added to the end of a base word that changes the base words meaning. The spelling of the base word may also change when the suffix is added. For example, when the suffix ion is added to appreciate, the final e is dropped: appreciation. Adding this suffix adds the meaning the act or state of being ____. The suffix ish adds the meaning somewhat or like, as in brownish. Recognizing a suffix can help you figure out the meaning of an unknown word. 1.Look at the unknown word. See if you recognize a base word in it. 2.Check to see if the suffix ion, -tion, or ish has been added to the base word. 3.Ask yourself how the suffix changes the meaning of the base word. 4.Try the new meaning in the sentence to see if it makes sense. As you read Its Easier in Daydreams, look for words that end with suffixes. Analyze the base words and the suffixes to figure out the meanings of words you do not know.
