This is a short poem I’ve put together to model some of the examples from the National Curriculum for the Year 2 statutory requirement to teach “Adding the endings –ing, –ed, –er, –est and –y to words ending in –e with a consonant before it”, where the guidance is “The –e at the end of the root word is dropped before –ing, –ed, –er, –est, –y or any other suffix beginning with a vowel letter is added.”
Like this? Then consider buying a book of poetry by Michael Rosen, Steve Turner or Allan Ahlberg to read to your children.
