Lots of opportunities for developing orthographic understanding and vocabulary here!
I hope you and your students enjoy exploring this resource in the lead-up to Mother's Day in Australia. It includes matrices at three different levels of complexity, word sums, and conceptual and historical information....
the free base <mother>, its etymology
etymologically related bases <matr> & <matern> that generate loads of present day English words
opportunities for discussions about meaningful relationships between words and the denotation of their bases - what about the word 'matrix', hey!?!
change <y> to <i> suffixing convention
the singular possessive apostrophe in Mother's Day
and lots more!
NOTE: I am a lifelong learner, so the content & concepts within this resource reflect my understanding at the time I created it. My understanding is always evolving!
