Last week, our spelling and word work activities introduced us to suffix -ed. \u00a0Students have learned that suffix -ed can be pronounced in three different ways, \/d\/, \/t\/, and \/id\/. Examples of these, derived from Fry\u2019s sight word list, which many have selected as spelling words, include called (\/d\/), stretched (\/t\/), and repeated (\/id\/). On Thursday, students practiced sorting suffix -ed words by their ending sound.<\/p>\n
Integrating this with our current grammar focus on verbs, we have been discussing how when something happened in the past, you usually add -ed to the end of the word.<\/p>\n
Later in the week, we discovered 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":"
