    preview

    First, explain to your kids what present tense and past tense verbs are. Give them simple examples of verbs they are familiar with, and explain how a past tense shows that the action was performed in the past. What would happen if your kids added the letters ‘–ing’ to the end of the word ‘jump’? Would it stay in the simple present form, or change to an action that happened in the past? Help them draw a line in this worksheet to the correct answer.

    When it comes to adding the -ing suffix to verbs, it's all about doubling up! This adorable worksheet uses some super fun and colorful planes to help your child learn how to correctly add -ing to words that end in consonants. It's as simple as doubling the consonant and adding -ing, and with this free PDF, they'll have the opportunity to see how the word is spelled correctly and then circle it. Sometimes the best way to learn how to spell words correctly is seeing how it looks incorrectly spelled and then comparing, and this worksheet is perfect for that.

So engaging
We love how we can focus on math with this app. It is engaging and we love how we are able to adjust and tailor the levels according to our son’s knowledge and skill levels!
Momma Anna
Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.

Such a great app!
This was a really fun way to get my kids to practice their math. I usually struggle to get them into it and Kids Academy makes it easy.
