Group 1 Mrs MacRae's Spelling Group
The Spelling Zone
This week we are learning to add the suffix - y.
We can add -y to many route words to make adjectives (describing words). For some words we DOUBLE the final CONSONANT before adding -y.
For example:
Spot Spott + y Spotty run runn + y runny
Monday 18th January Spelling Video
The introduction video with this weeks new spelling rule! Double the consonant before adding y!
Read the words and underline the double consonants and circle the suffix in each word.

Tuesday - Dots and Dashes
Root words before the suffix y has been added! Read the words, then dot the single sounds and dash where two letters make one sound. Count up how many sounds in each word. Check your work through to make sure it is correct. Correct any mistakes.
Wednesday - Word Changers
Read the word then double the consonant and add the suffix y or read the word and take off the double letter and the suffix y to find the root word.
