Lesson video

Hi there and welcome to today's spelling lesson.

I'm Mr. Moss.

I love spelling and I'm really looking forward to teaching you.

With you today, you need to bring your looking eyes, your listening ears, and your thinking brains, as well as that something to write with and write on and someone or something to talk to, would be great as well.

Let's get right into today's spelling lesson then.

In today's spelling lesson, we're going to be spelling words with the suffix -ing, using some different rules, the rules that you may already know when adding the -ing suffix.

The outcome will be, I can learn new rules to spell words when adding the suffix -ing.

Here are the key words for today's learning, my turn, your turn and make sure I can hear you saying them back to me, suffix, present tense, root word, verb, past tense.

So a suffix is a letter or group of letters added to the end of a root word.

The present tense shows that the action is happening now.

A root word is a base word onto which we can add either a prefix or a suffix to create a new word.

A verb is a doing or a being word, if you do it or you are, and the word is a verb.

And past tense shows that the action has happened before now, it's happened in the past.

So we are gonna be adding the suffix -ing onto the end of some root words today to create words in both the present and past tense.

And most of these words will be verbs.

Please keep an eye and ear out for these key words today as they're going to be very important in the learning.

So here's the outline for today's lesson.

We're gonna be spelling words with the suffix -ing, using alternative rules.

We're gonna look at more rules for using the suffix -ing, and then we're gonna practise and apply some spellings as well as applying them and writing them in a sentence as well.

Let's get on with some more rules for adding that suffix -ing then.

So remember suffix is a group of letters that we add to the end of word to create a new word.

Here, I've got my root word talk, and I add my -ing suffix to create talking, a new word.

It's a bit like a jugs, jigsaw puzzle in that we have the piece, talk, and then we attached onto the end, then our -ing suffix.

Here we have the root word dance and it becomes dancing.

Notice how our root word has changed this time.

Sometimes suffixes can change the root word and there are certain rules around this, and that's what we're going to be generating today.

<v ->ing is just one example of a suffix,</v> and there are different rules about how the root well will change when we add suffixes.

Let's read some words, walking, helping, my turn your turn, writing, baking, running, sitting, playing, enjoying.

What can you hear at the end of all of those words? Absolutely, we can hear that -ing suffix.

Now these words are verbs and they can be used in the present tense, as if they're happening now, or the past tense actions that have happened.

The suffix -ing adds an extra syllable to a word as well.

The word run, for instance, becomes run-ning.

(claps) Remember, syllables are those beats where we have our vowel sounds.

Play becomes play-ing.

(claps) You may also notice that the root words in some of these instances have changed, as well.

In these sentences, the present tense being verb indicates that the actions are continuing to happen now, they're in the present tense, "She is playing with the balls.

They are swimming in the pool." So our present tense being verb, is are, alongside playing and swimming, indicate that they're happening now, in the present tense.

We're gonna look at these same verbs, playing and swimming, but this time they're going to be in the past tense.

So our past tense being verbs will indicate that these actions have already happened.

They've occurred in the past, "He was playing with the balls.

They were swimming in the pool." So was and were, alongside our playing and swimming verb here shows us that it has already happened, that it happened in the past.

This means when we add the suffix -ing to verbs, we can create both present and past tense words.

Have a look here for me.

I've got some gaps in the sentence.

Four gaps in fact.

And you've got six letters underneath to choose from.

Not letters, sorry, words to choose from.

You need to choose the four correct words to fill in these gaps.

I'll read it to you first, "-ing is a type of hmm that is added to the hmm of a word.

When -ing is added to the end of a word, it can show the hmm tense or the hmm tense." Pause the video and fill in the correct gaps and say the full sentences now.

Good job, team.

Let's see how you did then.

"-ing is a type of suffix that is added to the end of a word.

When -ing is added to the end of a word, it can show the past tense or the present tense." And you may have put those tenses a different way around and that would've been fine.

But remember, -ing is a suffix.

When we add it to the end of a word, the end of verbs, we can create past or present tense verbs.

Brilliant.

So we have generated two rules.

We know that sometimes we can just add -ing.

You may know this from your previous learning.

We also know that if a word ends in an e, we remove the e before adding our -ing.

We don't want words ending in eing.

So this is these rules in action.

I've got the words, walk, help and ask.

I just add -ing to these words.

Root words often end in two consonant letters.

And we just add -ing.

With my words, smile, bake and hope, I'm gonna remove the e and add -ing.

So this is when our root word ends in the e, we remove it and add -ing, smiling, baking, hoping.

So have a look here though.

We're gonna now look at some new rules when adding the -ing suffix.

Look at what happens to the word now when I add the -ing suffix when the verbs end in a y.

I have here, worrying.

I've got my verb worry here and I want to create the word, worrying.

Oh, look at that.

I've just added -ing, carry, carrying, cry, crying.

My y here at the end of the words is making an e or an i sound and I'm just adding an -ing.

What do you see? Absolutely, we are just adding -ing.

The root word has not changed at all.

So it's unlike some other suffixes that we add, we keep our y here and just add -ing.

Like many other verbs, we can just add the suffix -ing to the root word ending in y, without changing it.

Study becomes studying, try becomes trying.

Notice how the y is remaining there, the root word isn't changing and we're just adding -ing.

And play becomes playing.

Just like when the root word ends in a two consonant letters, we just add -ing.

How will these words change when the suffix -ing is added then? Cry, stay, marry.

Remember, looking at that root word very carefully, will tell us how to spell the new word.

So I want you to figure out how I'm gonna spell crying, staying and marrying.

Think about the rule that we just generated.

Spell those words out now.

Pause the video.

What on team? 'Cause there is some brilliant thought going on there.

So cry ends in a y that i sound with a y, it just becomes crying, we just add -ing, stay that long a that digraph ay for that a sound ending in ay, just add -ing and marry that y spelling for that e sound, we are going to just add -ing.

We keep the y and we add -ing.

When the root word has a short vowel sound, ah, eh, ee, oh, uh and a single consonant, the final consonant letter is doubled when we are adding our -ing suffix.

So have the root word run here, ah, ah, short vowel, single consonant n, I double that consonant and I add -ing, it becomes running.

Sit, I'm sitting right now, eh eh, short vowel, single consonant t, double that t, add -ing.

Get, I'm going to get something, I'm getting.

I want to change it to getting, eh, eh, short vowel, single consonant t, double that t, add -ing.

So watch out though, there are some exceptions to this.

Often words ending in x won't follow this rule.

Mix has a short vowel, doesn't it? With a single consonant x, mix, eh, eh, short eh, but I'm not going to double that x.

You don't double that x, just add -ing.

So that's our exception to this rule.

But most of the time when you have a short vowel sound, ah, eh, ee, oh, uh followed by a single consonant, you double that consonant and then add -ing.

Here's another example, relax, ah, ah, x, followed by x, relaxing, exception, mixing, relaxing words ending in a short vowel followed by an x.

We don't double that x, we just add -ing.

So these root words contain a short vowel before a final single consonant, hop like a bunny hopping, it's gonna become hopping, I'm gonna double that p and then -ing, beg, "I'm begging you.

Please let me go on that trip," eh, eh, short vowel, single consonant g, add -ing and slam, slamming the door.

I want to make slamming, ah, ah, then single consonant m, slamming, double that consonant, add -ing So watch out for short vowels when you add a suffix as you often need a double consonant, okay, watch out for these.

How will these words change when the suffix -ing is added to them? Clap, plan, hop.

Remember, look at that root word.

Think about what you can hear.

Think about what it ends in.

I think I can hear short vowels in these words and I can see single consonants.

So think about it.

How are you going to spell clapping, planning, hopping? Pause the video and spell that now.

Great job.

Let's see how you did then.

Clapping, double the consonant, add -ing, because it's a short vowel and a single consonant, short vowel, ah, again, planning, ah, ah, short vowel single n, double the consonant, add -ing and hop, oh, oh, followed by a p consonant, double that p, add -ing.

Clapping, planning, hopping.

We double the consonant and then add -ing.

Remember when we have our short vowel, followed by single consonant, we double the consonant, add -ing.

What's our exception? When we have a short vowel followed by an x, we don't double the x.

So the final consonant is also doubled in these words, refer, referring, commit, committing, control, controlling.

So you can see here, our consonant has also been doubled in these words.

These root words have two syllables, so two beats, refer, (claps) commit, (claps) control, (claps) and the final syllable is really clearly pronounced and stressed.

Refer, (claps) commit, (claps) control.

(claps) They end it in a single vowel letter followed by a single consonant letter.

So we have er, it, ol but because they are stressed, we are going to double the consonant and then add -ing.

If the last syllable is not stressed, then the last letter is not doubled.

And this is something you have to really listen out for, that stressed and unstressed syllable.

Listen to this one, offer.

Am I really stressing that? Am I saying offer? No, I'm saying offer.

And in this way I just add -ing, compare that to refer, which I really emphasise and stress.

I then double the consonant there, so watch out.

Which rule is used? Is it double the consonant, add -ing or just add -ing? Enter becoming entering, expel becoming expelling and visit becoming visiting.

Have a look carefully at the root word.

Have a look at the new word with our -ing suffix.

Which rule have we used? Select the rules now.

Pause the video, off you go.

Right on team.

So enter, entering enter.

Hmm, I don't think I've stressed my vowel sound there, have I, at the end? So I'm just adding -ing.

The last syllable is not stressed.

Expel, which means to throw someone outta something, "I expel you from this classroom." Expelling, we doubled our consonant there, our l, because that last syllable is stressed.

And then we've doubled the consonant, add -ing and visit, visit, the last syllable is not stressed, so I've just added the -ing.

This could be quite tricky hearing that stress and unstressed sound.

So really be careful and listen out for these, in your spellings, in your reading and your writing.

So let's have a look at the two rules.

We keep the y and we add -ing.

We double the consonant and we add -ing.

Keeping the y and adding -ing.

whereas like hurry, stay, try, root words ending in a y, making an e or i sound or part of a vowel digraph, ending in y, we just add -ing.

And here we have stop, hum and control.

Stop and hum, both have that short vowel sound, don't they? Before a single consonant and control, control, two syllables (claps) and that second syllable is stressed so we double the consonant.

So root words are one syllable of a short vowel or two syllables of a stressed final syllable, and then we add our -ing.

So which rule is used here? I've got fry and frying, jog and jogging, commit and committing.

Do we double the consonant, add -ing or are we keeping the y and adding -ing? Match the pairs now to the rule that they're using.

Off you go, pause the video.

Great job.

Let's have a look, fry and frying, or fry that i sound ending in a y.

We're gonna keep the y and add -ing, jog is a oh oh short vowel sound with a single consonant g, I'm gonna double that consonant and add -ing and commit, commit (claps) the second syllable there is definitely stressed, isn't it? Committing, I'm gonna double that consonant add -ing.

So for your practise, I've got some root words below and I'd like you to put 'em into the correct column to show what will happen when we add our -ing suffix.

Are they keeping the y and adding -ing or are you doubling the consonant and adding -ing? And our root words are, my turn your turn, try, hop, control, hurry, carry and clap.

Pause the video and put 'em in the correct columns and have a go at adding that -ing suffix now.

Off you go.

Great job, team.

Let's see how you've done them.

Try, hurry and carry, all ended in that y, either making an i or an e sound and we just keep the y and we add -ing.

Hop and clap, both had a short vowel, oh or ah followed by a single consonant, so we doubled the consonant and added -ing and control the second syllable there, the final syllable was stressed.

So we doubled the l, doubled the consonant and added -ing.

Pause the video, see how you did.

So next practise task.

I'd like you to have a go at adding the suffix to these verbs.

Our verbs are fry, stop, marry, control.

I want you to add the -ing suffix to create frying, stopping, marrying, controlling.

Make sure you say the words and look at the root words carefully, 'cause that's gonna help you decide how you're going to spell the new word.

Think about the rules we've looked at.

If it ends in a y, what do we do? Hmm? If it has a short vowel followed by single consonant, if it has a stressed final syllable, what do we do? Pause the video and write the words, frying, stopping, marrying, controlling.

Off you go.

Well done everyone.

Some really good application of the rules that we've been looking at today.

So frying, it's that y, isn't it? That i sound spelt of a y, we know, we just add -ing.

Stop, oh oh, short vowel sound followed by single consonant, double the p, add -ing, marry, that's that e sounds in spelt of a y, we're just going to add -ing and control (claps) the second syllable with our final syllable, stressed, isn't it? Control, I'm adding some stress to it.

I'm going to double that l and add -ing.

Pause the video, check and see how you did.

So onto our final learning cycle, then, we're gonna practise and apply spellings and then we're gonna write a sentence.

Let's read the following word, answer.

Say that for me, answer.

What do you notice about the spelling? What's a bit difficult about it? Tricky about it.

Pause the video and have a think.

Now, I think for some of us, the first part might actually be a bit easier, for me, I say answer.

So it's that a, they're making an r sound.

Some of you might say answer and that would actually make more sense at the start, but there's still an element of this word that's tricky.

For me, it's that w which is silent as well, answer, we don't say ans-were, everyone will say either answer or answer.

The w's never pronounced and we can't hear it when we say the word aloud.

It's a curriculum word and it's really helpful for us to remember for our writing, it appears very commonly.

So we're gonna need to learn this one.

Watch out for that w.

So what, which of these is the correct spelling of the word answer? Pause the video and point to it now.

Well done.

Let's have a look, answar? Hmm, I'm not so sure about that.

I wouldn't pronounce the w anyway, would I? And we've got the word war there at the end.

I don't think a looks correct, anser the second one, anser or anser would be, I think maybe phonetically correct, 'cause we don't pronounce that w, but we know it's that c, because it has that naughty w in it.

So this is our correct spelling of answer as in answer the question.

So now we can practise spelling words using our two rules.

The two rules we've been looking at today when adding our suffix -ing, is keeping the y and adding ing and doubling the consonant and adding -ing.

Here's it in action.

Hurry, cry and carry all end in that y, so we just add -ing, hop and jog, both have a short vowel followed by a single consonant, so we double the consonant and commit the second syllable with that final syllable is stressed, so we double the t and add -ing.

Root words end in y making an e or i sound or part of a vowel digraph ending in y.

For instance, the word play will be playing, we just add -ing, doubling our consonant, the root words are one syllable with a short vowel, ah, eh, ee, oh, uh, or two syllables with a stressed final syllable like the word commit.

Choose the correct spelling in each of the sentences here for me, then, "I am hurrying to catch the train.

They are committing a crime.

She was hopping on one foot." Pause the video, select the correct spellings.

Bear in mind the rules that we've been looking at today.

Off you go.

Fantastic job, team.

Let's have a look and see how you did, then.

"I am hurrying to catch a train." Now my root word is hurry, it's that e sound spelt of a y.

If it ends in a y, we just add -ing.

"They are committing a crime." Commits two syllables.

(claps) That second syllables is stressed, isn't it? Commit, it.

It's very much stressed, so I'm going to double that consonant.

It's also that short vowel before that single t.

So I'm going to double it.

And then she was hopping, hop, h-op, h-o-p, oh oh, short vowel sound, single p in hop, double that consonant, add -ing.

How did you do? Pause the video and have a look now.

So I'd like you to have a go at adding the suffix -ing to these verbs for me.

I want you to write the words, trying, running, carrying, planning.

Think about the rules that we've looked at today.

Pause the video.

Off you go.

Great job everyone.

So I've seen trying written like this.

Now try is that i sound, isn't it? With that y spelling? If our root ends in a y, we just add -ing.

Run, uh uh, short vowel then single consonant letter, so double that consonant and add -ing.

Carry is that e sound with that y spelling.

It's a y, we just add -ing.

And plan, ah ah, single consonant letter following it.

Double the consonant, add -ing.

Pause the video, see how you did.

We are going to write a sentence containing some of our focus spellings now, so words that contain the suffix -ing.

When we write the whole sentence, we need to do several things at once.

We need to remember the whole sentence.

We also need to sound out each word.

Think of the spelling rules we've been looking at, so consider those rules for adding that -ing suffix.

Also look out for any common exceptional curriculum words.

So we've looked at the curriculum answer today.

And of course remembering our sentence punctuation, capital letters, full stops, any commas that may be in there as well.

So just listen to me say the sentence first, "I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." "I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." So we're gonna use some strategies to help us remember the sentence.

I'm gonna say it a number of times.

First of all, we're gonna march out, "I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." Pause the video, march out that sentence now.

Great, next one, shouting out, "I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." Shout that sentence out at me now make sure I can hear you.

Wow.

So loud.

And finally counting the words on our fingers.

"I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." Pause the video and count that sentence out on your fingers now so you make sure you don't miss any words in it.

Off you go.

So you're gonna have a chance to write the sentence now.

Make sure you sound out each word.

Look out for those common exceptional curriculum words.

And remember, capital letter, full stop for punctuation.

I'm gonna say the sentence one more time.

"I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." Pause the video, write that sentence for me now.

Excellent writing everyone.

Brilliant application of the rules we've been looking at today.

Really careful spelling of some tricky words there as well.

So let's go through your work.

Make any corrections as we go along.

I, needs to have a capital letter, was, w-a-s, hurrying, root word hurry ends in a y, we just add -ing, to answer, that was that curriculum where we looked at with that naughty w in it, answer or answer, the phone, that's that ph at the start there, but my brother, careful with that spelling as well, has the word other in it, was, w-a-s, humming, think about that, hum, h-u-m is our root word there, uh uh, single consonant, double the consonant, add -ing and clapping, clap, (claps) k-ah-app, short vowel, ah ah followed by single consonant p, so we double that consonant and add -ing, loudly, and I don't forget our full stop.

I've also added a comma here before our coordinating conjunction, but, "I was hurrying to answer the phone, but my brother was humming and clapping loudly." How did you do? Did you make any magical mistakes? What successes have you had? Do you need to make any corrections? Share your learning with those around you and make those corrections now.

Pause the video.

Great spelling today, everyone.

Remember a suffix is a letter or group of letters which we add to the end of a word to create another word.

The -ing suffix can be used to create present tense or past tense verbs.

When using the -ing suffix, there are three slash four key spelling rules.

We can just add -ing.

We can remove the e and add -ing.

We keep the y and add -ing.

and sometimes we need to double that consonant and then add -ing.

Keep up the great spelling and keep an eye out for this suffix in your reading and writing.

I'll see you in the next lesson.
