extension

We know that affixes (prefixes and suffixes) can be added to base words.

Next word: vacation

Other examples: subtraction and impression

Practice marking the syllables in the following words:

Exaples of words that have the final stable syllable:

devotion

production

Remember that /sion/ makes two sounds: sh*n as in the word "tension" and...

So we can now mark these words by circling the -ion suffix within the /sion/ or /tion/ welded sounds.

Introduction of a new kind of final stable syllable: /sion/ and /tion/

Two new welded sounds (and final stable syllable): /sion/ and /tion/

Important to note...

location

reconditioning

Just like in the consonant -le pattern, the /tion/ will always come at the end of a word.

Letters-key-word-sound: sion-mansion-/sh*n) and sion-television-/zh*n/

vacation

In the word "impression," the pronunctiation of the base word "impress" changes when the -ion suffix is added.

instruction

motion

Next word: station (/sta/ is open and /tion/ is the final stable syllable.

Let's mark up this work together: prediction

notation

Compare the two sounds with the same final stable syllable: "expansion" "invasion"

The first syllable: closed (sim) The second syllable: final stable syllable (ple)

Scoop the following word: s i m p l e

/zh*n/ as in the word "confusion."

/ac/ is the closed syllable and the /tion/ is the welded sound, but to show it's a suffix, we would also circle the /ion/ within the box.

In "vacation," we the welded sound (tion) can be boxed and the final stable syllable is marked with the letters /fs/ (final syllable) underneath.

words with the /tion/ welded sound actually have a suffix: /ion/

sensation

Next word: condition ----> add the prefix -re and the suffix -ing and now we have...

For example, in the word "action," the base word is "act" and the suffix is "ion."

isolation

Same concept... The first syllable is closed /ten/ and the second syllable is the final stable syllable (sion).

erosion

For example: motion + ed = motioned (motion is the baseword, -ed is the suffix)

migration

For example: tension

/sion/ can also be found as the last syllable of words.
