Examples cover -s, -es, and -ing endings, including guidance that -s may sound like /z/. Additional word groups include VC/VCC, R-controlled, CVCe, CVVC, VCC, and CVVC patterns.

FAQs

What is the purpose of these phonics pages?

They help beginning or struggling readers separate and blend base words with inflected endings. The pages guide learners to connect the suffix to the full word while reading.

How should learners use the -s section?

Color the suffix-s in each word, read the base word by itself, then add -s when reading the entire word. The resource notes that -s can sometimes sound like /z/.

What endings are covered besides -s?

The directions also cover -es and -ing. Each section follows the same routine: identify the suffix, read the base word, then read the complete inflected word.
