Usage Notes
Gel pens in two or three colors work nicely here if students want to underline the base word before writing the suffix form, since the answer blanks are generously sized. Colored pencils can add light shading to the clip-art images in each row to help visual learners connect the picture to the sentence. Avoid thick markers on the answer lines as they can bleed and make written answers harder to read.
Printing Tips
Standard 20 lb copy paper handles this layout cleanly, but bumping the scale to 105 percent removes any edge crowding around the clip-art rows without cutting off the name and date fields at the top.
