Give your class the opportunity to put their suffix knowledge to the test with this Key Stage 2 Adding Suffixes Test Practice. This resource includes four levels of challenge and one worksheet for each level. There are 12 multiple choice questions on each test for children to show what they know.

Use this resource as an independent learning activity during your assessment periods throughout the key stage. Alternatively, you could use it as a differentiated task in one year group and use it multiple times to show progress; it's entirely up to you! Each level of challenge comes with a marking scheme that will help you whizz through your marking, or they can be used as a peer or self-assessment tool.
