Selected Default Gakuva

Spelling Verb Endings means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: Word cards or a short word list; Paper and pencil. 1. Say the goal of Spelling Verb Endings in plain words once. 2. Adult says a target word, covers it, then writes it from memory and checks. 3. Child studies three words, covers each, writes it, and checks letter by letter. 4. Fresh check: one fresh covered spelling. Record and stop. Done: three checked spellings with corrections noted. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding

  • Add -s or -es correctly to make plurals (e.g. 'cats', 'boxes')
  • Spell words with -ing and -ed endings (e.g. 'jumping', 'helped')
  • Add -er and -est to adjectives (e.g. 'quicker', 'quickest')
“When your child writes about more than one dog or talks about something that is happening now, do they add the right ending — like "dogs" or "jumping" — without making spelling mistakes?”
