This week’s spellings continue to involve adding ‘…ing’.
We’re concentrating on two rules:
- drop an e before adding ‘ing’
- just add ‘ing’ if the word has a long vowel sound before the end consonant, or ends in a y
As usual, the last five words in bold are for children learning fifteen. Base words don’t need to be learnt – they’re just for reference so that you can see whether you need to drop an e or just add ‘ing’.
Some examples in sentences:
- Taking a hiding from Mr Owen on Victorian day would have been worse if he’d been a real Victorian teacher.
- I heard the microwave beeping but saw my disgusting food was burning.
- I was feeling caring this morning.
