In this objective, children will learn how to add the suffix ing to bases to show that a verb is continuing. Over three  20-minute lessons, they will:
·               Recap bases that are verbs
·               Revisit learning on the past tense suffix -ed
·               Review learning on verb phrases and the auxiliary verb ‘to be’
·               Implement verbs with the suffix -ing into verb phrases
·               Differentiate between ‘ing’ as a spelling pattern and ‘-ing’ as a suffix
·               Learn how to add the suffix -ing to regular verbs
·               Review consonant and vowel letters
·               Learn three spelling rules
1.      Double the final consonant letter when a word ends in a CVC pattern, then add the suffix -ing.
2.      Drop the final silent e vowel letter, then add the suffix -ing
3.      Just add the suffix -ing
