🔺 Triangle – supported level

The Triangle worksheet provides the greatest level of scaffolding. Pupils sort supplied words, identify and circle suffixes, select words from two choices and complete words using -tion or -sion.

⭕ Circle – developing level

The Circle worksheet extends the word set and reduces the scaffolding. Pupils sort words, complete suffixes and retrieve the correct vocabulary from definitions and sentence contexts without multiple-choice support.

⬜ Square – independent challenge

The Square worksheet focuses on independent application. Pupils complete words, distinguish correct spellings from plausible errors and retrieve vocabulary using sentence and definition clues.
