Sickness- The base word is sick. The suffix

comes after, so the suffix is ness. Adding the suffix
changes the meaning of the word. Ness means

and I finally had a long conversation. Although it was
sly, we planned to go behind my mother’s back and

Jamie was shocked when he realized he built the

memorial in the wrong place on the school grounds.
The principal asked him to build it near the picnic tables
outside of the school. He built it in the back of the
school by the tables instead of the front of the school
where he was supposed to. He had built it so strongly it
would not even budge. Not only that, he was about to
go into exhaust mode because he had been trying to
move the memorial for 3 hours. It was a dedication
bench made to our principal for all of her contributions
to our school. Now everyone would think he was a
traitor! Maybe he should just ask for help so it can be
fixed. Or maybe he was just magnifying the situation.
He certainly hoped so. He was nervous as he walked
into the school building to tell the principal of his grave
mistake.

Lia, the whale trainer, could tell that Marka, the

that some whales enjoyed being held captive, while
some did not. Maybe it was because of her mammoth
size and the aquarium just did not give her enough
room. Because of this, Lia knew it was time to release
Marka back into the ocean. She was sad because she
had grown to love Marka, but she also knew it was the
right thing to do. She hoped that one day she would
receive payback for this good deed, but she did not
expect it. It was finally time to take Marka back. She
explained to Marka what was happening and bid her
farewell. She would never forget her. This was a triumph
for Marka and Lia was glad that she could help.

Read the vocabulary story below. Complete the activities after reading the story.

Why did I think I could rely on Jenna? My sister never

follows through with what she says. However, I thought since
we were going to volunteer at the soup kitchen that surely she
would come! I have been sitting here for so long it seems that
the flower in front of me will soon wither. It’s Thanksgiving Day
and Jenna knows how important it is for me to work in the soup
kitchen today. It has been miserable sitting here for this long
waiting on Jenna, when she probably won’t even come. I very
seldom ask her to do these activities with me because she has
been so unreliable in the past. I don’t even know why I thought
I could trust her. It was almost vicious of Jenna not to even call
me to say that she couldn’t come. Just as I was beginning to
walk into the soup kitchen, Jenna runs around the corner
apologizing for being late. I guess I could rely on her after all!

Activities:

1. Circle all of the vocabulary words.

2. Name a synonym and an antonym for the word miserable.

mean? Use prefixes and suffixes to write your definition.

The peasant was tired of his redundant life. It seemed that

day after day he continued to do the same thing. His
agriculture business did not seem to improve and it was making
him weary and tired. One day he saw a sparrow sitting on the
field on a dark, cloudy day. He thought it was strange and it
looked as if the sparrow was staring at him. He walked up to the
sparrow and believe it or not, he didn’t move. He decided to
speak to him. The sparrow acted like he was listening to the
peasant. So the farmer decided to ask the sparrow for advice.
He said, “What can I do to help my business grow?” The
sparrow nodded his head in the direction of the few workers in
the field. They were hasty in their work and did not seem to take
their time or give any effort to their farming. The peasant
seemed to understand how to make the correction. He looked
at the sparrow and thanked him for his help. He then decided
to have a talk with the workers about their work on the farm.

was anticipating the thunder to be booming. Sonya and
Michael were nervous, but they were also upset. They were
supposed to go to their school social this evening! All of a
sudden, they heard the loudest booming noise that temporarily
deafened their ears. The thunder was like a dinosaur romping
outside of the house. The storm had finally begun. Michael and
Sonya looked outside. They saw large piles of hail falling from
the sky. It was dark and dreary and the thunder was continuing
to boom. They were upset because they didn’t think they would
make it to their social with weather like this! After 20 more
minutes, the storm finally calmed down. They heard a police
car and looked outside to see the police patrol making sure
everyone and everything was safe after the storm. We ran
outside and couldn’t believe the amount of hail. We measured
the height and was surprised that there was over an inch of hail
on the ground! We sure hoped we would be able to drive
through the aftermath of the storm. We ran and sought our
parents to see if they would still take us to our school social.
