DOUBLING RULES & 2-Syllable Words - Read & Add and Read & Divide Pages

Q: What are the “Read & Add” pages used for?

They help learners apply doubling rules when adding inflected endings by underlining the final syllable and doubling the last letter when the requirements are met.

Q: How does “Read & Divide” work?

Learners read each word, divide it into the base word and suffix, and use the two-syllable doubling requirements to decide on the final consonant for the base word.
