Modern Montessori Reading: Suffix writing activity (Subscription)

Give your students meaningful practice with suffixes through these 12 illustrated writing activities! Each picture serves as a prompt to guide sentence creation, helping children connect base words and suffixes while building their writing fluency.

✨ What’s Inside:

• 12 picture-based writing pages

• Helpful word banks on each page

• Step-by-step teacher guidance for modeling and independent use

📝 How It Works:

1. Print the pages and slip them into plastic sleeves to reuse with dry erase pens.

2. Present a picture and talk through what is happening—pointing out the subject and object (e.g., “The girl is looking at the dog”).

3. Direct the child to the suggested words at the bottom if extra support is needed. Model how to build a sentence with a suffix and write it down.

4. Provide another picture page for the child to try independently.

5. Store the resource on your shelf so children can revisit it as self-directed practice.

✅ Why Educators Love It:

• Integrates suffix practice into authentic writing tasks

• Strengthens sentence-building skills

• Offers scaffolding through suggested words

• Reusable and ideal for small groups, centers, or Montessori shelves

This activity makes writing both structured and creative—children observe a picture, use suffix words in context, and grow their confidence as independent writers!
