Spelling: Suffix -ed

On Monday, students brought home their new spelling words within their weekly homework packet. Spelling words are root words with the added suffix -ed. All words are frequently used with our new readers Bedtime Tales, as well as with other connecting activities in our daily lessons. 
Students used their spelling words today, but looking at the root word and noticing if and when the word changed by adding the suffix -ed. 
Did it follow the three rules?
1. Short vowel sound
2. One syllable
3. One consonant at the end
Ask your child how and when a word changes when adding suffixes. 
Can they recall the three rules on whether to double a consonant?
