Key concepts students will learn:

  • When a one-syllable word has one vowel and ends in one consonant, you usually double the last consonant when adding a suffix.

  • In a two-syllable word, if the first syllable is stressed and ends in a vowel and consonant, you typically do not double the last consonant.

  • In a two-syllable word, if the second syllable is stressed and ends in a vowel and consonant, you usually double the last consonant, unless the word ends in w, x, or y.
