-ful
Look at the picture of the boy helping the

man. This keyword is helpful. We add ful to

the end of a word when we want to show

something is full of something. So, the word

helpful means of “full of help”.

Listen and watch as I say this suffix’s name

and its sound: - ful

-y

Four more suffixes that can be added to words to change their

meanings. This is the suffix -y. When y is a suffix, it is also a

vowel. What is this letter?

Look at the picture of the dusty rug. This keyword is dusty. We

add y to the end of a word when we want the word to mean

“full of something” or “having something”. So the word dusty

means “full of dust” or “having dust”.

Sometimes the letter y isn’t a suffix. Sometimes it can be only a

vowel sound and is in words that are not base words, such as

the word baby. For words in which the letter y isn’t a suffix, the

letter has the same sound as the suffix: /e/.

Lily’s Puppy

Lily had been wishing for a puppy for a long time. She
wanted a silly puppy to run and race with. Her mommy said
Lily could not have one because she was not age nine yet.
Lily begged her mommy and daddy. She said, “I am not a
baby. It would make me so happy to have a puppy.” Lily’s
mommy and daddy talked for a long time. They said, “We
do think you will try your best.We will let you have a puppy.”
Lily was so grateful. She went to the pet shop and picked a
huge puppy.She named him Cody. Cody is the best puppy
for this family.
