Spelling CVC words


BUT ONLY WITH CVC (consonant-1 vowel-1 consonant) WORDS!!

One of the hardest things about comparatives is remembering when to double the consonant at the end of the original adjective before adding -er.

  • Never double x or w.  
  • We usually double the last consonant of CVC words--One-syllable words that end with one vowel then one consonant. 
  •  If there are two vowels or two consonants, don't double.  (heater, harder)
  • The vowel in a CVC word is usually "short."  It doesn't say its name.  It sounds like you were punched in the stomach.
The grammar word for any letters added to the end of a word is suffix.  ER, ED, ING, and EST are common suffixes.  CVC words double their last consonant for all of these endings.

Tap -- tapping  Pet- petted  big--bigger  pin-pinned  pin-pinning  hop--hopped  trotter

Silly Children's Videos to help you remember:   (If you like children's materials.)
