[bright music] Ed-d-t. Id-d-t. ♪ Ed makes three sounds ♪ Id-d-t Hi friends!

Today I'm using a song to help me remember a rule of the English language.

This rule says that the suffix -ed actually makes three different sounds.

Id, d, t. Are you ready to use this rule of the English language to read with me?

[children cheering] Yes!

Let's get started.

Before we read, we should get our ears ready to hear all the sounds in words.

Let's try a phonemic awareness activity.

Today I'd like us to segment words.

I will say a word, you will repeat the word, and then we will say all of the sounds that we hear in the word.

So are you ready?

Great!

Stand up.

Excellent.

The first word is fan.

F-a-n. Great job!

The next word is store.

S-t-or.

That was tricky.

The next word is skid.

That's when you slip.

S-k-i-d. You are doing great with this, friends!

Let's try one more.

Rose.

R-oh-z.

Excellent!

Now we're ready to read.

[children cheering] Great!

Today we're going to be adding the suffix -ed to base words.

When you do that, you're basically saying something has already happened.

And thanks to my trusty song, id-d-t, id-d-t, ♪ Ed makes three sounds ♪ Id, d, t I know that the suffix -ed will make three sounds.

But my friends, there is more.

Yes!

When the base word, that's the word without the suffix, ends in T or D, that means that the suffix -ed will represent the sound id.

Let's practice it with this word.

M-e-l, mel-t.

Melt, id.

Lets put that together.

Melt-id, melted.

Oh no, my ice cream melted!

Let's try it with a base word that ends in the letter D. Me-n, men-d mend, id.

Mend, id.

Mended.

Great job!

Now we come to the tricky part.

Letter sounds are either voiced, that means they use your vocal chords, or they're not voiced, which means they don't.

And the only way to tell that is if we touch our throat as we make a sound.

So touch your throat and let's make the t sound.

T-t. Did you feel your vocal chords move?

Me either.

That means that sound is unvoiced.

Let's try the sound d. D-d. Did your vocal chords move that time?

That's right!

That means it's voiced.

So we know we have two remaining sounds that ed can make, d, which is voiced and t, which is unvoiced.

If the last letter in the base word is unvoiced like t, then we're going to use the t sound.

If it's voiced, like d, then we're going to make the d, ed will represent the d sound.

Let's practice this with another word.

F-i-l.

Fill.

L. Did your vocal chords move?

L. They did?

So then we're going to make the d sound.

Let's try it.

Fill-d. Fill-d.

Filled.

Right, that works!

That makes sense.

Let's try it with another word.

This time, let's try it with letters that are unvoiced.

Remember, this is a bonus letter.

Together the two Ss make the s sound.

T-o-s. Toss.

Okay.

To-s. No movement, I'm going to use the t sound.

Toss-t, tossed.

Tossed!

Great job!

Now you're ready to read more words.

[claps] Let's read!

Think of our suffix -ed.

Let's answer a question before we read.

What three sounds does the suffix -ed make?

Id, d, t. Great job!

Remember, when we read a word with a suffix, we will read the base word first.

If the base word ends in D or T, the suffix -ed will say id.

If the base word ends in a voiced sound like g or l, the suffix -ed will represent the d sound.

If the base word ends in an unvoiced sound like s or k, the suffix -ed will make the t sound.

Let's try one together.

Rest.

Id.

Rested.

It's time to show what you know.

Ended.

Banged.

Packed.

Filled.

Missed.

For our last segment today, we are going to be writing a word.

So I would like you to grab a paper or something to write on and a pencil or something to write with and come right back here.

[bright music] Ready?

Okay.

I'm going to say a word, you're going to repeat the word, and we're going to be thinking about the word in two parts.

Base word and suffix.

Okay, the word is filmed.

Filmed.

What is the word without the suffix?

Film.

We can tap that out.

F-i-l-m. Go ahead and write that down.

D. Film-d.

Remember, what represents the d sound in the word filmed?

That's right!

Is this what you wrote?

F-i-l-m-d oh, this is so good.

We have our base word film and we have our suffix.

D. You have done such great work today, friends.

I would like you to think about things you do every day.

Think about those words and think about the suffix -ed and what sound it represents in that word.

So does it say id?

Does it say d?

Does it say t?

Don't forget the song.

See you next time.

Bye friends.
