Read Words with ED at the End - Lesson for Grade 1, Chapter - Inflectional Endings
In this enlightening lesson titled "Read Words with ED at the End," first-grade students will embark on a journey through the world of inflectional endings, focusing particularly on the "-ed" ending, which is crucial in the English language for denoting past tense. This lesson is an integral part of the Phonics unit, designed to enhance students' reading and spelling capabilities.
Through engaging activities such as the "What Would Happen? Worksheet," students will explore the concept of time in storytelling by transforming present-tense verbs into their past-tense counterparts using the "-ed" ending. This not only helps in understanding the sequence of events in narratives but also aids in improving their comprehension skills.
The "Finish the Word Worksheet" further reinforces this learning by providing students with partially completed words, encouraging them to apply their knowledge of the "-ed" ending to complete the words. This activity is crucial for developing their decoding and encoding abilities, essential skills for budding readers and writers.
Understanding how to read and use words with the "-ed" ending is vital for students.

Activity 2 / Finish the Word Worksheet
Talking about tenses, how much does your kid know about the topic? Listen to them when they speak, do they use words in their proper past tense form, or perhaps they still mangle them up and use the simple present tense verbs for everything? At the end of this worksheet, you can be sure that your kids will make more efforts to use the correct past tense forms of verbs. Ask them which letters added to the word in the worksheet would mean the action happened before now. Help your little ones check the correct answer.
