Welcome to Home Learning Spellings with Mrs Andrews

This week we are going to ‘Recap words ending in –ed, -ing, -er’

• Can you think of any words ending in –ed, -ing, -er ?

• Write them down.

• Can you remember what are the ‘spelling principles’ when you add –ed, -ing, -er to a word?

• Top TIP: Think about the words add, change, chop and double?

Add

• When the root word ends consonant, consonant just add the suffix (er/ing/ ed)

jump

•e.g. jump - jumper - jumping - jumped

Double

• Double the consonant and add the suffix (er/ing/ ed) when we have a short vowel followed by a consonant at the end of the root word

short vowel = i

so double the consonant p

skip

• e.g. skip - skipper - skipping - skipped

Chop

• When the root word ends in a vowel, chop the vowel (a,e,I,o,,u) and add the suffix (er/ing/ ed)

bounce

• e.g. bounce - bouncer - bouncing - bounced

Change

• When the last letter of the root word is a ‘y’, you change the ‘y’ for an ‘i’ and add –ed

• Remember to change the ‘y’ for an ‘i’

cry to cried

e.g. try to tried, fry to fried, reply to replied, spy to spied

Change

• There are some irregular verbs that change entirely when writing in the past tense. You just have to learn them!

• e.g.

• eat = ate

• sing = sang

• run = ran

• catch = caught

• teach = taught

Your turn to do some spelling activities.
