Understanding suffixes is crucial for children aged 6-7, as it significantly enhances their reading and writing skills. At this age, children are becoming increasingly independent in their literacy development. By learning about suffixes—letters added to the end of a word to change its meaning or form—students can decode unfamiliar words more easily, which boosts their reading confidence. For example, recognizing the suffix “-ing” helps a child identify the action in “running,” while “-ed” tells them that something happened in the past.

Moreover, knowledge of suffixes aids in vocabulary expansion. When students learn how to manipulate words using suffixes, they unlock new meanings and can express ideas more precisely. This skill is foundational for effective communication both in written and oral forms. Furthermore, as children practice using suffixes in their writing, they develop a deeper understanding of grammar and sentence structure, which is essential for academic success.

Parents and teachers play a vital role in nurturing this understanding by incorporating playful activities, such as word games or interactive discussions. By supporting children’s exploration of suffixes, caregivers help foster a love for language and improve overall literacy skills, setting the stage for long-term academic achievement.
