Watch second-grade teacher Khadija Williams lead students in a flash card routine for suffixes. For each suffix, Ms. Williams spells it, says it, defines it, and gives examples. And her students echo her. Once her students have routines like this down pat, they can focus on learning new content — suffixes like ‘-ing’ (happening now) and ‘-ed’ (in the past) — instead of trying to follow along with a different process every day.
