The ‘shun’ sound
The ‘shun’ sound can be spelt in three different ways.
Which one you use depends on the last letter or letters of the root word.
- If the root word ends with ‘c‘ or ‘cs‘ use the –cian suffix: magic – magician
- When the root word ends with ‘d‘ or ‘se‘ the suffix used is usually –sion: expand – expansion
- If the root word ends with ‘t‘ or ‘te‘ use –tion: invent – invention
Can you think of any more?

Challenge paragraph:
I saw a magician ? in the circus ? the other day. He started tapping on his hat and saying funny spells like this:
“Abracadabra
If I may say
Give me something ending with ‘cian’
To give us a brighter day.”
And out popped an electrician and a technician!?
He continued, after the standing ovation, saying:
“Abracadabra
Quick as a wink
Give me something ending with ‘tion’
To make us really think.”
And out popped a pencil, and the magician said “This can be used for the creation of something wonderful for our education!”
Following more applause, he continued:
“Abracadabra
Please quickly today
Give me something ending with ‘sion’
That will blow us away”
To our amazement out popped a volcano ?! At that moment, to our confusion, there occurred a great explosion ?!!
No wonder the ticket men told us to wear safety goggles ? and safety overalls. ??
