"Spelling Words With -ING Practice" is a worksheet that features a few different activities that all focus on helping students practice spelling words with ING. They include:

* Writing C for consonant and V for vowel underneath each letter in a word.

* Circling words that fit the WXY Saying and then writing them below.

* Circling whether a word follows the WXY Saying or the CVC Ending before circling its correct spelling.

Each activity includes its own set of directions that explain exactly how to do it. Directions include reminders about how Y can be treated like a vowel and what the WXY Saying is, so students can read the directions and complete each activity independently.

Learning how to add ING to words is an important skill that boosts reading comprehension and spelling skills. Teaching students the WXY Saying and CVC pattern can help them learn how to add ING and spell words correctly.

Have students begin with a base activity of labeling letters as consonants and vowels. Take a little extra time to practice the letter Y, since it can be both a consonant and a vowel.

Then, students can practice identifying words that end in W, X, and Y before adding ING. After they have mastered that skill, they can practice identifying words that end in a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern so they know to double the last letter before adding ING. Combine both skills on the same worksheet when you think students have mastered both skills and need a bigger challenge.
