When learners are not aware of a particular suffix like \u2063&#8221;&#8216;ner,&#8221; it \u200bmay lead to confusion \u200dor misinterpretation of words that contain this suffix. <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, the\u2062 lack of recognition for a specific\u200c suffix can make it challenging \u2064for \u200clearners to \u200ccomprehend and\u2062 decode words that utilize this suffix. They\u200b may struggle to determine the meaning of a word because they are not familiar with\u200d the suffix &#8220;&#8216;ner&#8221; and \u2063how it\u200c impacts the overall\u2062 meaning of the word. This can\u2063 hinder their reading comprehension and fluency.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore,\u2064 the\u200c absence of \u200drecognition for the suffix \u2064&#8221;&#8216;ner&#8221; can also hinder learners&#8217; ability to produce\u200b words correctly. They may not \u2064be able to add this suffix appropriately \u200cto\u2064 words when attempting to use it in their own speech or writing.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the \u2064lack of recognition for \u200bthe suffix &#8220;&#8216;ner&#8221;\u2063 can have a detrimental effect on \u200clanguage acquisition and comprehension as it can lead to confusion, difficulty \u2063in decoding words, and challenges in\u200b producing words accurately. It is\u2062 essential for learners\u2062 to be\u2063 taught and\u2064 exposed to \u2062various suffixes to enhance\u2064 their linguistic skills.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illinois&#8217; Democratic trifecta may terminate a small school choice program, benefiting under 10,000 low-income students, unless renewed during the upcoming veto review session.
