How to practise word suffixes
Read through the end before moving to the following space. A suffix may change a word's role and length even when the beginning stays the same. The samples focus on accurate endings, not on an exhaustive grammar rule. Compare the visible target instead of choosing the form you expect.
What to check after a run
Look for a premature space or an added ending from the next word. Repeat the related-word sample at a comfortable pace before returning to prose.

1. Find the pattern

2. Connect the movement
The reader checked the readable heading carefully. Quietly, the group compared the useful labels and discussed whether a shorter ending would improve the movement of the sentence.
3. Apply it in context
The workshop note describes a helpful guide and a carefully arranged display. Its usefulness depends on readable labels and consistent spacing. Copy the final letters of each related word before pressing space. Familiar beginnings should support your reading, while the visible endings determine exactly what you type.
