Vocabulary Choice
Choose familiar vocabulary but vary the affixes. E.g. listen She is a good listen___.
Context Preparation
The question needs to be in context and ask what it intends to ask. e.g. This is a nice draw__. Test whether students know when not to add an affix. e.g. Can you check my spell___? How do you spell___ this?
Instruction Preparation
1) Complete the words in the sentences. When nothing is needed, put an X in the blank. 2) Read the sentences completely carefully. Most have a word that is missing. Some words do not need anything added. When you find such a word, put an X in the blank. Blanks left empty will be marked wrong. Give examples for students who have not done simple completion before.
