We have been working on adding "ing" to base words.

We call the part of a word we add an ending to a base word.
       walk     +    ing           = walking
(base word)     (ending)

Rules:
1. If the word ends in an "e", we drop the "e" and add "ing".

example:   ride

ride+ ing = riding

2. If the word ends in an "o", we keep the "o".

example: do

do + ing = doing

3. If the vowel before the final consonant in a word is short, double the final consonant before adding the ending.

example: run

run+ ing = running

4. If the vowel in a word is long, do not double the final consonant.

example: keep

keep + ing = keeping

Students can practice adding the endings to the following words:

-give
-live
-jump
-talk
-go
-shout
-feel
-come
-work
-swim
-stop
