Lesson 107
Doubling Rule -ed, -ing
Spelling change with -ED and -ING
The concept of a doubled consonant representing a single sound was introduced in Lesson 42. Remember, words with a consonant followed by one vowel followed by one consonant at the end of syllables always have a short vowel sound.

Warm Up Our Ears
Say the sounds; students blend them into a word. Then say a word; students break it apart.
Blend it (teacher says sounds → you say word)
Break it (I say word → you say sounds)

Blending Drill
Change one part at a time and read the new word.
New Concept
Today we learn a spelling rule for adding -ED and -ING to words with one vowel and one final consonant.
Highlighted words are the ones to show and practice reading — tap one to hear it.
-ED and -ING are both suffixes. We learned that we can add -ED and -ING to verbs to change their tense. When we add -ED and -ING to a word with one vowel and one final consonant, we need to double the final consonant before we add the ending. For example, the word has one vowel (o) and one final consonant (p). To turn stop into stopped or stopping we need to double the p then add -ED or -ING.
Doubling Rule -ed, -ing
When we are spelling and want to add -ED or -ING to a word, we can write the word then check to see if it has one vowel and one final consonant to tell if we need to double the consonant before adding the -ED or -ING ending.
