In our Literature Circle groups, we went on a suffix search.  We found that sometimes, the last letter of the base word doubles.  We explored what happened to words when a suffix is added.

Please test out some of the words that you found.  Remember to start with a word sum and then follow the flow chart.  Write your word sum in the comment box (you can use the = sign for the rewritten as arrow).
