Unit 13

Suffix -ing,-ed, and -s

Focus

These are the following skills and concepts students will be focusing on:

- - Suffix -s, -ing, -ed added to multi syllabic words
  - Suffix -ed added to base words with closed syllables

Focus

In the unit we focus on adding suffixes -s,-ed,and -ing to non-changing basewords, including two syllable words.

Tips and Tricks

This unit focuses on words that do not change when the suffix is added (Please do not use words such as drip since you would need to double the p to form dripping or dripped).
Vowel suffix ‘es’: Words that end in ‘ch’, ‘sh’, ‘s’, ‘x’ and ‘z’ all add –es to change the meaning to more than one.

Sentences

Remember to continue to practice the spelling word procedure when spelling these words. Students should first complete the procedure and then add symbols.

In this unit we are going to continue practicing using punctuation and marking words. We circle sight words, box glued sounds, put a star above bonus letters and underline a base word, circle the suffix box each of the glued sounds, put a breve about short vowels and swoop underneath with a c. Below is an example of a sentence using all of our new sentence markers:
