Understanding suffixes is crucial for enhancing the vocabulary of children aged 7-9. As they are at a fundamental stage of literacy development, incorporating suffixes into their learning offers several benefits. Firstly, suffixes help children decode unfamiliar words. Instead of fearing a complex word, they can break it down, recognize its components, and derive its meaning. This skill fosters independence in reading and comprehension.

Furthermore, suffixes enhance word formation, enabling students to expand their vocabulary effectively. For instance, the addition of "-ing" can transform "run" into "running," illustrating how one root can generate multiple related terms. This awareness encourages curiosity about language and promotes a rich linguistic environment.

Moreover, teaching suffixes aligns with nurturing critical thinking skills as children learn to analyze language structurally. It also aids in their writing, enabling them to express themselves with greater variety and accuracy.

Lastly, strong vocabulary skills are linked to academic success across all subjects. Parents and teachers play a vital role in creating engaging strategies, like games and activities, that emphasize suffixes. By focusing on normal vocabulary building through suffixes, they equip children with foundational skills essential for lifelong communication and learning.
