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!
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:
Here are some words that follow the 1-1-1 rule:
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!
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!
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!
Let’s try some words together:
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.”

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.
