Teacher directions: If you are doing this as a center; write the rule on an envelope and give an example. If you are doing this as a large group, write the rule on the board. IF THE WORD ENDS IN VC (vowel/consonant), DOUBLE THE LAST LETTER OF THE ROOT WORD AND ADD ING (THE SUFFIX). IF THE WORD ENDS IN CC (consonant/consonant) JUST ADD ING (THE SUFFIX) TO THE BASE WORD. Next, if you are doing this as a center, write words on paper strips that you want them to add a suffix to. Ex. slip, swim, walk. If you are doing this as a large group, you can write words on the board. Next, cut wikki sticks the length to underline 2 letters. Then, cut 3 small squares of heavy paper for each student. On one square write the letter V (for vowel), and on 2 squares print the letter C (for consonant) on each.
Student directions: Students underline the last two letters of the base word with the wikki stick from one of the words written on paper strips. Next, they put the small squares on top of the two letters they underlined ( VC if the last two letters are a vowel/ consonant or CC if the last two letters are both consonants). If it is a VC the students double the last letter of the base word and add ing (the suffix). If it is CC the students just add the suffix. Students write their answers on white boards or paper. Next, they turn the paper strip over and check it. They make corrections if they need to and then write a sentence with that word.
Accountability: The teacher checks their answers from the white board, or paper. Therefore, if they use a white board they put all of their answers on the board and don't erase it until the teacher checks it.
