When a word has multiple suffixes, circle each suffix to isolate the base word. Read the base word first, then add the suffixes back one at a time and blend the whole word.

Each suffix adds meaning, but suffixes at the ends of words are not typically accented and often reduce to schwa in speech. Even when there is more than one suffix, the base word stays the anchor for decoding and meaning.

Blend the word smoothly until it sounds like natural speech, then state how each suffix changes the meaning of the base word.
