This week, our spelling and word work activities have introduced us to \u00a0suffix -ed. \u00a0Students have learned that suffix -ed can be pronounced in three different ways, \/d\/, \/t\/, and \/id\/. Examples of these, derived from Fry’s sight word list, which many have selected as spelling words, include called (\/d\/), stretched (\/t\/), and repeated (\/id\/).\u00a0\u00a0Shifting our grammar focus, we’ll use this opportunity to begin learning more about verbs and verb tenses as we discuss suffix -ing and suffix -ed.\u00a0<\/span>Later in the week, we will discover that when the root word ends in t or d, adding suffix -ed will also add another syllable to the word. For example, the root word “end” is a one syllable word. To make it past tense, add suffix -ed. The resulting word, “ended,” is a two syllable word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week, our spelling and word work activities have introduced us to \u00a0suffix -ed. \u00a0Students have learned that suffix -ed can be pronounced in three different ways, \/d\/, \/t\/, and \/id\/.
