Phonics sounds & skills: Doubling Rule -ed, -ing, -er, -est  When we add -ed, -ing, -er, or -est to a word with one vowel and one final consonant, we need to double the final consonant before adding the ending.  For example, the word stop 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. The word big has one vowel (i) and one final consonant (g). To turn big into bigger or biggest we need to add another g before we add -er or -est ending.
