Lesson 65
-ing
Reading and spelling words with -ING
In some words the final consonant is doubled before adding -ING (e.g., stopping); this is addressed in Lesson 107. In some words the final E is dropped before adding -ING (e.g., hoping); this is addressed in Lesson 109. Supplement this lesson with additional grammar instruction focused on parts of speech, verb tense, and proper use of helping verbs, as needed.

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)

New Concept
Today we learn to read and spell verbs with the -ING ending.
Highlighted words are the ones to show and practice reading — tap one to hear it.
-ING is an ending we can add to verbs to change their tense. -ING is pronounced /ĭ/ /ng/ like at the end of the word . Can you hear the /ĭ/ and the /ng/? We add the -ING ending to verbs when we are talking about actions that continuously happen in the present or past. When a verb has the -ING ending, a helping verb comes before it: I am going. He is going. We are going. She was going. They were going.
Breaking apart -ING words
We can break up -ING words to make them easier to read. Display the word . First find the -ING ending and cover it up. Read the base word: jump, then uncover and read the ending: ing. Last, blend them together: jumping. Continue modeling this during reading practice as needed.
