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 lesson we're going to use spelling words with the suffix ING.

The outcome will be, I can spell words using the suffix ING when you add ING or remove the E and add ING.

So we're gonna be looking at two rules in particular when adding this suffix.

Here are the key words for today's learning.

My turn, your turn.

Make sure I can hear you saying these back to me.

Suffix, present tense, root word, verb, past tense.

So, let's have a little chat about what these mean then.

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

A present tense, the present tense shows that the action is happening now.

A root word is the base word from which other words are formed, often by adding a prefix or a suffix.

A verb is a doing or a being word.

If you do it or you are it, then the word is a verb.

And the past tense shows that the action happened before now.

So we are going to be adding the suffix ING onto root words today to create both present and past tense verbs.

So here's our outline.

We're spelling words with the suffix ING.

We are first of all going to look at rules for using that suffix, and then we're going to have a chance to practise and apply some spellings using that suffix.

And also write a sentence that contains some words using that suffix.

Let's get on.

We're looking at some rules for using the suffix ING.

Remember that a suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of a word that creates a new word.

Here we have the base word talk, and I'm adding the ING suffix, that suffix we're looking at today to make a new word talking.

So it's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle.

Talk is our root word, and then we've attached onto the end of it, the suffix, something that comes at the end of the word ING to create the new word talking.

Here we have dance, again I'm going to add my ING suffix, but notice what happens here to the word dance.

That root word is changed somewhat before adding ING.

Talk didn't change, but dance has changed.

There are lots of different types of suffix and today we're concentrating on the ING suffix.

And there are different rules, different things can happen to different root words dependent on the suffix that we are adding.

The root word might stay the same, the root word might change.

We're going to be looking at some of these rules today.

So let's read some words.

My turn, your turn.

Walking, helping, writing, baking, running, sitting, playing, enjoying.

What do you notice about all of these words? Pause the video and have a little think.

Absolutely.

I've noticed that they all end in our ING suffix.

These verbs can be used in the present tense or the past tense.

So they can be used to show actions happening now or actions that have already happened.

The suffix ING adds an extra syllable to their word as well.

So if we look at the word walk, for instance, it becomes walking, two syllables.

Help has one syllable, helping now two syllables.

So it can be used in present and past tense verbs and it adds an extra syllable to the word.

In these sentences, the present tense 'being' verb indicates that the actions are continuing to happen now.

They're happening at this moment in the present tense.

He is walking to the shops.

So our ING suffix there is being used to show the present tense.

They are smiling.

Smiling, there's our verb.

It's happening as we speak in present tense.

So is walking and are smiling.

The being verb there is an are alongside walking and smiling are showing that it is happening in our present tense.

We're gonna look at these same verbs again, but in some different sentences.

And you'll see here the past tense being verb indicates that these actions have already occurred.

They've occurred in the past.

He was walking to the shop, they were smiling.

So was and were here, indicate that this verbs walking and smiling have happened in the past.

So you can see here our ING suffix can be added to the words to create both present and past tense verbs.

Choose the correct words to complete these sentences.

There's four missing words, so you need to select four from the six down at the bottom.

I'll read the sentence first.

ING is a type of (hums) that is added to the (hums) of a word.

When ING is added to the end of a word, it can show the (hums) tense or the (hums) tense.

Add the missing words to the sentence now and say it.

Off you go.

Well done.

Let's see how you did them.

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 maybe had those in a different order and it wouldn't have mattered.

We just know it's showing our past and present tense.

Brilliant.

Pause the video and read that sentence out again.

Off you go.

Okay, so let's look at what happens when we add the suffix ING to some verbs.

Walk becomes walking, help becomes helping, and ask becomes asking, what do you notice here? Is my root word changing at all? What's happening when I add this suffix? Have a think.

Pause the video.

So the root word has not changed at all here.

So our first rule, when adding the suffixes to some root words, you just have to add the ING suffix.

Often we can just add the suffix ING to the root word without changing it.

Talk becomes talking, sing becomes singing, play becomes playing.

Our rule here is that this is usually the case when our root word ends in two consonant letters like talk ends in an L and a K.

And so we just add ING or sing ends in an N and a G, two consonant letters, so we just add ING.

Hmm, but this isn't the same for play, is it? Play ends in a A and a Y.

So it's not two consonant letters, there's a vowel there.

There are some exceptions then.

This can also be when the root word ends in a Y, but it's in a digraph, making an 'ay' or an 'oy'.

Like the word play that AY there is making a digraph.

So it's two letters making one sound and so we just add ING.

What will the spelling of these words be when adding our ING suffix then? And remember looking at that root word carefully can help us to spell the new word we're creating.

Enjoy, help, call.

How do you think you're going to spell, enjoying, helping, calling? Is that root word going to change when you add your ING suffix? Pause the video and have a go at spelling those words now.

Brilliant.

Let's see how you did then.

No, enjoy isn't going to change.

It might not end in two consonant letters, but remember it ends in an OY, which is a digraph with the Y at the end there creating that 'oy' sound, isn't it? So we just add ING, help and cool, do both end in two consonant letters.

So we just have to add ING.

So this is a really common rule when spelling, adding that ING suffix just adding ING.

Now have a look here though.

I'm gonna show you adding ING to some more verbs.

It's gonna be a bit different this time.

We are not just gonna add ING something a bit different's gonna happen.

Keep an eye out.

Here I've got the root word smile.

I want to create smiling.

Something's happened here, hasn't it? A letter's changed in my root word.

Here I've got bake, I want to create baking.

And again, something's gone from my root word, hasn't it? And finally hope becoming hoping.

Oh and again, something's gone.

What do you notice here? What's disappearing from my root word each time before adding my suffix? Pause the video and see if you can spot it.

Great job.

Absolutely.

The root word has changed here.

It was ending in an E and we've chopped off that E and we've added our ING.

We don't want an EING spelling.

So otherwise smile would become smileing with that EING, which wouldn't look right.

So we remove the E and then add ING.

So have a look.

How will these root words that end in E change when we add our ING suffix? Remember looking at the root word carefully can help us figure out our new spelling.

So we have here dance or dance, close, and like.

I want us to make the words dancing or dancing, closing and liking.

What's gonna change here? Spell those words out.

Pause the video.

Wow, good job.

I can see that we've really carefully talked about our rule here.

They all ended in E, don't they? So we're gonna (imitates hand whooshing) remove the E to make the word dancing or dancing if you rather.

Here closing, the shop is closing in 10 minutes.

We get rid of the E and add ING and liking get rid of the E, add ING.

So our rule here is remove that E and add ING.

So we've generated two rules today, just adding ING and removing the E and adding ING.

Let's have a look at these in action.

We've got walk, help, and ask.

They become walk, helping and asking just by adding ING.

And this is often in less in words, sorry, that have two consonant letters at the end but remember there are some exceptions.

And finally, smile, bake and hoping, becomes smiling, baking, and hoping.

The root well ends in an E, so we remove that E and add ING.

Have a look here.

I've got some word pairs down below.

Smile and smiling, help and helping, sing and singing.

Which rule is being used here? Just adding ING or removing the E and adding ING.

Match them now.

Off you go.

Fantastic job.

So smile, smiling.

Oh, I can see in my new word with my ING suffix.

The E's gone so I've removed that E and added ING.

Help, helping ended in two consonant letters, I've just added ING.

Sing, singing, ended in two consonant letters, I've just added ING.

So here's our practise task.

You are gonna put some root words into the correct column to show what will happen to the words when we add our ING suffix.

Will you just add ING or will you remove the E and add ING? Let's read our root words first.

Call, smile, snow, dance, read, and close.

Pause the video and put these root words in the correct column and have a go at adding that ING suffix to them now.

Off you go.

Great job all.

Let's see how you've done them team.

So call has become calling and we just added ING.

Snow has become snowing.

Now interestingly, snowing doesn't have, or the word snow doesn't have two constant letters at the end.

It's that O and W but it's a digraph, isn't it? That's making that 'ow' sound OW, and W there's our consonant.

So we just add ING and reading as well is similar.

We've got an A and a D, we just add ING.

And then we have here smile, dance, and close.

Chop off the E in those and then add ING.

See how you did.

Onto then our next learning cycle, which is gonna be practising and applying some spellings using this ING suffix.

And then writing some words in a sentence.

So let's read the following word.

My turn, your turn.

Through.

Through.

I am looking through the window.

What you notice about this spelling? It's quite an odd spelling, isn't it? Pause the video and see what you think might be tricky about it.

Great.

It contains the letters OUGH.

This is quite an odd spelling for that through that 'ough' sound, isn't it? It doesn't feel like it should make that sound.

We can use a really nice pneumonic device to help us remember this.

Oh you grumpy hippo, that OUGH.

This will help us remember this when we're writing this.

So here you can see our grumpy hippo.

This is a curriculum word and it is helpful for us to remember this.

It's almost like a common exception word.

It doesn't follow our regular phonics patterns.

So remember that mnemonic, 'oh you grumpy hippo'.

So which is our core spelling of the word through.

Pause the video and point to it right now.

And remember that mnemonic, 'oh you grumpy hippo'.

Great job.

I could see you all pointing there.

Let's have a look at these examples, thru, THRU.

I know my U spelling can.

Just my U spelling can make that U sound, but I don't think that looks right.

Through with that 'oh you grumpy hippo'.

And then OHHG, that's not the right way around is it? It's not 'oh you hippo grumpy'.

It's 'oh you grumpy hippo'.

So our correct spelling is this one, THROUGH, through.

So now we can practise spellings using the two rules that we've generated today.

Just adding ING or removing the E and then adding ING.

Remember when we're adding, just adding ING, it's often the root word ending in to consonant letters.

And when we are removing the E from the end of the root word, it's because it ends in an E and then we remove it and add ING.

So have a look here.

I'm gonna read these sentences to you.

There's two spellings, one's correct, one's incorrect.

I want you to choose the correct spelling for each sentence.

I am hoping to score a goal for my team.

Aisha was smiling at the new child in the class.

He loves baking cookies with his Gran.

Pause the video and select the correct spelling for the words hoping, smiling, baking.

Off you go.

Great job everyone.

So let's have a look at the first one.

I am hoping, think about that word hope.

It's HOPE as the root word.

What's our rule for ends in an E? (imitates hand whooshing) Chop off the E and then add ING.

So the correct spelling is this one.

The other one is actually a word, but it's the word hopping.

Okay, where we doubled that consonant after a short vowel sound to add our ING, that would be hopping up and down.

It wouldn't be I'm hopping to score a goal for my team.

It's I'm hoping to, you are wanting to do it.

You are thinking, yes please.

Aisha was smiling.

Now something strange has happened here.

We don't spell our word with EING, do we? We chop off that E.

So we get rid of the E and then add ING.

And he loves baking.

Think about that Root word bake, BAKE.

It's that A split E or split digraph separated by the K.

There's no 'ay', AY spelling in there, is there? And our root word's not going to change unless we chop off the E and add ING.

So baking here is the correct spelling.

Pause the video and see how you did.

So here are four words.

I want you to add the ING suffix to these verbs to create either a past or present tense verb.

So, gonna have playing, closing, talking, and helping.

Remember to look at that root word 'cause that's gonna inform and help you as to how the new word's going to be spelt.

Consider the rules we've looked at today.

Pause the video and write the words playing, closing, talking, and helping for me now.

Off you go.

Well done team.

Let's see how you've done them.

Play was becoming playing.

Now let's think about that playing.

Now it's that exception, isn't it? We're just going to add ING, but it's that AY digraph making that one sound with that Y at the end.

So we don't get rid of the Y, we keep the Y and we just add ING, so it's this one here.

Close becoming closing.

What do you notice about close.

As in I close the door, it ends in an E.

What's our rule? We get rid of the E and we add ING.

So our correct spelling is closing.

We're not gonna double the S, we're not gonna keep the E.

The next one was talking.

Oh, talking.

I think I'm just gonna add ING because it follows our rule here, doesn't it? Of ending in two consonant letters, an L and a K.

So I just add ING.

And finally helping, the same as talking, right? Ends in two consonant letters.

I'm just going to add ING.

I don't need to double the consonant and I need to remember it's ING is ing, ing, ing.

Not help in.

So make sure you enunciate that NG at the end as well.

Brilliant.

Pause and see how you did.

So we are going to write a sentence containing some of our focus spellings now.

When we write the whole sentence, we need to do several things at once, so perhaps I have to bring it back before you attempt this.

We need to remember the whole sentence.

We need to sound out each word.

We need to think of our spelling rules.

Remember those spelling rules we've looked at today for ING? And we need to look out for any common exception or curriculum words.

Think about that word through that we looked at as our curriculum word today.

And finally, of course we need to remember our sentence punctuation, capital letter, full stop, any commas or other punctuation that might be in the sentence.

So I'd like you to just listen to me say the sentence first of all.

Use that great hearing.

Use those ears of yours.

You don't need to do anything, just listen to me first.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

So we're gonna use some strategies to help us remember the sentence.

It's really important we say it a number of times so we don't miss any words, any sounds.

First one is tapping it out.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

Pause the video now, tap it out.

Off you go.

Good job.

Next one is whispering it.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

You whisper it out now to yourself or to someone around you.

Off you go.

Good job.

Could barely you, but I'm sure you were saying it.

And finally, we're gonna count the words on our fingers so we don't miss any.

I was walking through the park hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

Pause the video now and count out that sentence.

Off you go.

Good job.

So we're gonna have a go writing the sentence now.

Remember to sound each word out.

Think about any curriculum or common exception words.

And don't forget sentence punctuation, catalysts as full stops.

I'll read the sentence one more time.

I was walking through the park, hoping to see my friends talking and enjoying the sunshine.

Pause the video, write that sentence now.

Fantastic work everyone.

Some brilliant spelling there.

Some great application of our spelling rules as well for those ING words for which there were quite a few in this sentence and I could see people really carefully thinking about the curriculum word that was in that sentence as well.

So let's check our work and make any corrections as we go along.

I obviously needs to have a capital letter.

Was is WAS walking, ooh ING.

And it's just adding ING to that root word, walk.

Through, ah, 'oh you grumpy hippo', remember that? The park hoping, now our root word hope here is HOPE, chop off the E, add ING.

To see my, move away Friends, I-E-N-D-S, be careful with that word.

Talking, that root word talk, just at ING, ends in two continent letters.

And enjoying, and this is that exception to the rule here, isn't it? It's that, OY digraph so making one sound of our Y at the end, we just add ING.

The sunshine, that compound word sunshine.

And of course we need to have a full stop at the end of our sentence.

What did you learn? What successes did you have? Did you make any match or mistakes? Share those with the people around you now and make any corrections in your learning.

Off you go.

Pause the video.

Great spelling today, everyone.

We've been spelling that suffix, ING.

Remember, a suffix is a letter or group of letters at the end of the word, which creates a new word.

The ING suffix can be used to create present tense or past tense words.

When using the ING suffix, there are several rules.

Two of these are just add ING and remove the E and add ING.

Great spelling, keep it up, and I'll see you again soon.
