Understanding Doubling and Dropping Rules for Vowel Suffixes in Grade 4

This lesson focuses on the rules for adding vowel suffixes to base words in Grade 4. We define a suffix and identify vowel suffixes, which start with a vowel. Students will learn the Doubling Rule for words with short vowel sounds, where the final consonant is doubled, and the Dropping Rule for words with long vowel sounds, which involves dropping the silent 'e.' Through examples and practice, students will enhance their spelling and understanding of how vowel suffixes change base words.
