Doubling Two-Syllable Words

Have you ever wondered why you double the final consonant of some two-syllable words {like forgotten}, but not others {like profited}? That’s the topic we’re diving into today with our video and free printable pack!

1. Watch the Video!*

• Learn more about these four requirements for doubling final consonants in longer words:
  • 1- The word must have two syllables
  • 2- It must have a final 1-1-1 syllable
  • 3- You must be adding a vowel suffix
  • 4- The second syllable should be accented {Read more about helping readers identify accented syllables.}
• Practice these four requirements step-by-step with real words

*This video is nearly 10 minutes long, making it the longest video in this series. There are several steps involved in this doubling rule, but I believe it’s very helpful to understanding these requirements.
