Group A list: words with ou and ow spellings. The oddball words have these spellings, but aren’t pronounced like /ou/. Note the pronunciations of the oddball words.
|ou |ow |Oddball (odd vowel sounds) |

|shout |crown | |
|count |drown | |

| | | |
Group B. list: adding –ed to words by doubling the last consonant (VC words); dropping the –e (VCe words); and no change (VVC and VCC words). You can extend the learning by sorting the words into categories of /t/ /d/ and /id/ which are the ending sounds of the words. Ex. hopped actually has the /t/ sound at the end, not the /d/ sound.
|VC |VCe |VVC |VCC |Oddball words |
|hopped |hoped |joined |acted |mixed |
|planned |saved |waited |wanted | |
|grabbed |closed |seemed |helped | |
|nodded |liked |shouted |started | |
|stepped |lived | |hunted | |
|dropped |named | |passed | |
| | | |called | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Group B1 list: words with qu. The qu can come at the beginning of the word (“question”), or in the second syllable (“frequent”). Also, qu can make the /k/ sound instead of the /kw/ sound, as in the third category.
|1st syllable |2nd syllable |qu = /k/ |
|question |equal |antique |
|quality |frequent |racquet |
|squirrel |equipment |mosquito |
|squirm |equator |conquer |
|quaint |equip | |
|quotation |banquet | |
|quizzes |inquire | |
|queasy |liquid | |
| |require | |
| |sequence | |
| |sequel | |
| |request | |
Group C list: review of comparative suffixes: –er and –est and –ier and –iest. In the first two columns, there is no change to the word before you add the suffix. Also, -er is used when comparing 2 things; -est is used when comparing more than 2 things. In the third and fourth columns, notice that i has replaced a y in the original word. Example: “empty” and “emptier”. Identify the base word in each category to see this change.
|-er |-est |-ier |-iest |
|kinder |kindest |emptier |emptiest |
|stranger |strangest |earlier |earliest |
|cleaner |cleanest |trickier |trickiest |
|quieter |quietest |fancier |fanciest |
|harsher |harshest |crummier |crummiest |
| | |murkier |murkiest |
| | |shinier |shiniest |
Group D list: vowel alternation; long to short or schwa sound. The schwa sound is an unaccented, or unemphasized, vowel sound. Example: the word happen has a schwa sound in the second syllable because the second syllable is unaccented. The vowel has no distinct vowel sound, so it is a schwa sound. In the first two columns, the base word sound changes from long to short. In the third and fourth columns, the base word changes from long to schwa.
|Base word: long vowel |Base word: short vowel |Base word: long vowel |Base word: schwa sound |
|volcano |volcanic |compose |composition |
|reptile |reptilian |compete |competition |
|rite |ritual |admire |admiration |
|divine |divinity |custodian |custody |
|serene |serenity |define |definition |
|conspire |conspiracy | | |
