Double the Consonant➊ Write these words on the board:
hope hop
➋ Have students sing with the CD and watch as you change the spelling of the words on the board. Add d to the end of the Bossy E word. Double the consonant, then add e-d to the word without a Bossy E.
➌ Have students tell you what kind of word needs a double consonant before adding an e-d ending.
Underline “hope.” Is hope a Bossy E word? (yes)Right! The letter o says its name in the word . . . hope.So hope is a . . . Bossy E word.To add the e-d ending, we just add a d because the e is already there.Point to the e.
How do we make hope say hoped? (Add a d.)
Is hop a Bossy E word? (no)Right, it isn’t a Bossy E word because the letter o doesn’t say its name.It says . . . /ŏŏŏ/.So, I need to double the consonant, then add e-d to make it say . . . hopped.Point to the e. Now the e is too far away from o, so it can’t be bossy.
These snappy songs offer a lively warm-up to the day practice in critical skills.

LABELING ALTERNATIVE
On occasion, you and your students might enjoy labeling the parts of speech with different colors. Crayons, markers, or colored pencils will make the labeling stand out for the student. It also makes correction easier for the teacher.
PARTS OF SPEECH WORD CHOICE
(Reminder)Periodically tell your students why they are learning about nouns, adjectives, and verbs. Say something like: Adjectives like inspiring and brave are great words. Adverbs like safely are great words too. One or two words can help our sentences tell a lot more. Adjectives and adverbs can make our sentences very interesting.
