"Using the WXY Saying and CVC Pattern to Spell Words That End in -ED" is a worksheet that has students practice spelling words that end in ED using both the WXY Saying and the CVC pattern.

The first activity on each page asks students to label the letters in different words as consonants or vowels. Then, they circle the words in a rectangle that end in WXY before writing the words and their ED form down below.

Alternating worksheets ask students to figure out which rule a word follows. Students label each letter in a given word with a C or a V, then label the last three letters only with a C or a V. Then, they circle which rule it follows before circling the correct spelling. For example, students have to choose which rule the word "hum" follows before circling "humed" or "hummed."

Activities include examples that demonstrate how to complete each section of the worksheet.

Words are spelled differently with different suffixes, like ED, depending on their endings. Students can practice identifying these endings to help them become better spellers.

For example, students can practice adding ED to words that end in W, X, and Y. Then, they could practice adding ED to words that end with a consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern by doubling the last letter first. You can combine these rules on the same worksheet to help students see the similarities and differences between the rules. As they get better at it, they could come up with their own list of words that follow each rule and have a classmate write them with ED endings.
