In this lesson, SuperLexia introduces the “1-1-1 rule,” a helpful guideline for spelling words correctly when adding suffixes like -ing, -ed, -er, or -est. The rule states that if a word has one syllable, one vowel in the middle, and ends with one consonant, the last consonant should be doubled before adding the suffix. Through engaging examples and practice, children learn to apply this rule to enhance their spelling skills.
  1. What do we do to the last letter of a word when we use the 1-1-1 rule?
  2. Can you think of a word that follows the 1-1-1 rule? What suffix can we add to it?
  3. Why is the 1-1-1 rule important for spelling words correctly?

THE 1-1-1 RULE ????‍♀️ SPELLING AND GRAMMAR for Kids ???? Superlexia⭐ Episode 8

Hello, friends! I am SuperLexia, your friendly helper with spelling and grammar. I love making words and sentences clear and fun. Today, let’s learn a cool trick called the “one one one rule.” It’s like a magic spell for spelling!

What is the 1-1-1 Rule?

The 1-1-1 rule helps us spell words correctly when we add special endings, called suffixes, like -ing, -ed, -er, or -est. Here’s how it works:

  • If a word has one syllable, one vowel in the middle, and one consonant at the end, we double the last consonant before adding the suffix.

Let’s See Some Examples!

Here are some words that follow the 1-1-1 rule:

Example 1: Hop

The word “hop” has one syllable, one vowel (o), and ends with one consonant (p). When we add -ed, it becomes “hopped.” We double the “p” to keep it sounding just right!

Example 2: Sit

The word “sit” has one syllable, one vowel (i), and ends with one consonant (t). When we add -er, it becomes “sitter.” We double the “t” to make it sound perfect!

Example 3: Big

The word “big” has one syllable, one vowel (i), and ends with one consonant (g). When we add -est, it becomes “biggest.” We double the “g” to make it sound super!

Time to Practice!

Let’s try some words together:

  • For “tap,” if we want to add -ing, what do we do to the “p”? That’s right! Double the “p” and then add “tapping.”
  • For “sad,” what happens to the “d” if we want to add -er? Correct! Double the “d” and then add “sadder.”
  • For “hot,” what if we add -est? You got it! Double the “t” and then add “hottest.”

Great job! All these words follow the 1-1-1 rule, so we double the last consonant before we add a suffix. It’s like magic!

Keep Learning and Having Fun!

We’ve learned so much today! There are many more fun things to discover. You can watch more videos and learn even more cool stuff. Keep exploring and having fun with words!

Goodbye, fellow language explorers! May your words always be wonderful!

  • Can you think of other words that might follow the 1-1-1 rule? Try saying them out loud and see if they have one syllable, one vowel, and one consonant at the end. What happens when you add a suffix like -ing or -ed?
  • Why do you think we need to double the last consonant in some words before adding a suffix? How does it change the way the word sounds or looks?
  • Have you ever noticed words with suffixes in your favorite books or stories? Can you find some examples and share them with your friends or family?
  1. Word Detective Game: Become a word detective! Look around your home or classroom and find objects or actions that have names following the 1-1-1 rule. Write down these words and try adding different suffixes like -ing, -ed, -er, or -est. Remember to double the last consonant if the word follows the rule. Share your findings with a friend or family member and see if they can think of more words!

  2. Suffix Sorting Activity: Create a set of cards with different base words on them, such as “run,” “swim,” “clap,” and “hug.” On separate cards, write suffixes like -ing, -ed, -er, and -est. Mix up the cards and then match each base word with the correct suffix card. Practice writing the new words, remembering to double the last consonant if the word follows the 1-1-1 rule. You can do this with a friend and take turns to see who can make the most words!

  3. Story Time Challenge: Write a short story using as many 1-1-1 rule words as you can. Start with a simple sentence, like “The cat sat,” and then add more sentences using words like “hopped,” “biggest,” or “sadder.” Try to use different suffixes and remember to double the last consonant when needed. Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot all the 1-1-1 rule words!

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello, citizens! I am SuperLexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. I help make language excellent by following the rules. Let’s defeat spelling and grammar mistakes with the power of clear and impactful expression.

Today, we’re going to learn about a rule called the “one one one rule.” It’s like a secret code that helps us spell one-syllable words correctly when we add special endings called suffixes. Some examples of suffixes are -ing, -ed, -er, or -est.

The rule is simple: if a word has one syllable, one vowel in the middle, and one consonant at the end, we double that last consonant before adding the suffix.

Let me show you with some examples:

– “Hop” is a one-syllable word with one vowel in the middle and one consonant at the end. When we add -ed, it becomes “hopped.” We double the “p” to keep it sounding short and sweet.

– “Sit” is a one-syllable word with one vowel in the middle and one consonant at the end. When we add -er, it becomes “sitter.” We double the “t” to keep it sounding nice and tidy.

– Finally, “big” is a one-syllable word with one vowel in the middle and one consonant at the end. When we add -est, it becomes “biggest.” We double the “g” to keep it sounding super.

So, the one one one rule helps us make sure these words sound right when we add suffixes. It’s like magic, isn’t it?

Okay, citizens, now let’s put your spelling skills to the test! Check out these words:

– For “tap,” if we want to add -ing, what do we do to the “p”? That’s right! Double the “p” and then add “tapping.”

– Next, for “sad,” what happens to the “d” if we want to add -er? Correct! Double the “d” and then add “sadder.”

– Finally, for “hot,” what if we add -est? You got it! Double the “t” and then add “hottest.”

[Applause]

Great job! All these words follow the one one one rule, so we double the last consonant before we add a suffix. Farewell, fellow language warriors! May words be forever in your favor.
