SPELLING WORD REVIEW

Materials Needed: Index cards, highlighter, timer, whiteboard, markers, eraser.

1. Dictate the missed words onto index cards. Have the students highlight the part of the word that was
difficult.
2. Choose from the review activities below or use an activity found in the The Phonogram and Spelling
Game Book.

1. Play Spelling Snap (The Phonogram and Spelling Game Book, 36).

2. Write the words using Rainbow Writing (The Phonogram and Spelling Game Book, 48).

3. Practice the words by typing them on a computer.

OPTIONAL SPELLING RULE REVIEW

Use the following mini-lessons to review the concepts as needed.

Spelling Rule 14
Spelling Rule 14

Double the last consonant when adding a vowel suffix to words ending
in one vowel followed by one consonant, only if the syllable before the
suffix is accented.

1. Review the rule by reciting it and discussing the samples on the back of the card.

2. Write one syllable words on the board and practice adding suffixes as follows:

bat + er = batter
fan + ed = fanned
fog + y = foggy
mom + y = mommy
Copyright 2012 Pedia Learning Inc.
536 // THE LOGIC OF ENGLISH ESSENTIALS - TEACHER'S MANUAL

pit + ed = pitted
run + ing = running
wet + er = wetter
fix + ing = fixing (X has two sounds /k/ and /s/.)
fax + ed = faxed
mix + er = mixer
quit + ing = quitting (QU is a phonogram. U is not a vowel here.)
quiz + ed = quizzed
sing+ ing = singing
pick + ed = picked
mad + ly = madly
ship + ment = shipment
3. 40.4 Extra Practice: Adding Suffixes to One-Syllable Words Practice adding suffixes to one syl-
lable words ending in one vowel followed by one consonant with the activity in the workbook.
4. Review finding the accent in multi-syllable words.
How do we find the accented syllable? Listen for the strongest beat, or place your hand under
your chin and feel on which syllable the mouth drops open the farthest.
Lets practice finding the accented syllable in the following words.
I will write a word on the board. Say the word aloud and tell me which syllable is accented.

e quip re turn
can cel re sell
of fer a bout
ac cent les son
When adding a suffix to a multi-syllable word ending in one vowel and then one consonant, you
must know where the accent is in the derivative. If we are adding a vowel suffix and the accent is
on the syllable before the suffix, the consonant is doubled.

medal + ion = me dal lion

medal + ist = med al ist (Do not double the consonant. The accent is on the wrong syllable.)
omit + ing = o mit ting
prefer + ing = pre fer ring
prefer + ence = pref er ence (Do not double the consonant. The accent is on the wrong syl-
lable.)
rebel + ion = re bel lion

 Lesson 40 Assessment & R ev iew // 537

occur + ed = oc curred
offer + ed = of fered (Do not double the consonant, the accent is on the wrong syllable.)
allow + ance = al low ance (Do not double the consonant, it ends in a multi-letter phono-
gram.)
saw + ing = saw ing (Do not double the consonant, it ends in a multi-letter phonogram.)
5. 40.5 Extra Practice: Adding Suffixes to Multi-Syllable Words Practice adding suffixes to multi-
syllable words ending in one vowel followed by one consonant with the activity in the workbook.

OPTIONAL GRAMMAR REVIEW

Use the following mini-lessons to review the concepts as needed.

Coordinating Conjunctions and Compound Sentences

Grammar Card 7 C

Conjunctions connect words, phrases or sentences together. There are

two types of conjunctions: coordinating and subordinating.

Grammar Card 7.1 C

Coordinating conjunctions connect related words, phrases, or

sentences together. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction:
and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so.

Grammar Card 9.13 Compound Sentence

A compound sentence contains two complete sentences joined

together with a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction.

1. Review the rules by reciting them and discussing the samples on the backs of the cards.

2. Review these sample sentences on the board. Emphasize the comma before the conjunction.

Mom went to the store, and dad stayed home.

I memorized the first two immediately, but the last one took more time.
Is this a good combination, or would that be better?
She is not encouraging, nor do I want to spend time with her.

3. 40.6 Extra Practice: Coordinating Conjunctions Join the sentences in your workbook using a
comma and a conjunction.

Subordinating Conjunctions and Complex Sentences

Grammar Card 7.2 C

Subordinating conjunctions join two sentences together by turning one

sentence into a dependent clause (or sentence fragment).

Grammar Card 10.2

A dependent clause includes a subordinating conjunction, subject, and

verb. A dependent clause does not express a complete thought.

Grammar Card 9.14

A complex sentence contains an independent clause joined with one or

more dependent clauses.

1. Review the rules by reciting them and discussing the samples on the backs of the cards.

2. 40.7 Extra Practice: Sentences and Fragments Direct students to write an S next to the complete
sentences and an F next to the fragments. If it is a fragment, underline the subordinator that steals
the completeness of the sentence.

3. Discuss the following sentences. Notice that when the subordinate clause is first, a comma is used.
Discuss how when the subordinate clause is second, a comma is not needed.
While Grandfather listens to the radio, we clean the kitchen.
We clean the kitchen while Grandfather listen to the radio.
Although I believe it is impossible, I will try my hardest.
I will try my hardest although I believe it is impossible.
As soon as grandpa took the picture, I wanted to see it.
I wanted to see the picture as soon as grandpa took it.

4. 40.8 Extra Practice: Subordinating Conjunctions In you workbook, practice reversing the order
of the two clauses in the sentences.
