Doubling Rule Concept Visual

How is this used?

Ask the following questions:

1. Am I adding a vowel suffix? (If yes, add the base of the cone.)
2. Does the base word end in one vowel then one consonant? (If yes, add the 1st scoop labeled VC.)
3. Is the final syllable accented? (Initially this is taught with only one syllable words. If you are at the beginning stage, teach the student to say: "Yes, all one-syllable base words are accented" and add the 2nd scoop.)
4. Did we make a double ice cream cone? (If yes, teach student to say: "We double the final consonant before adding our vowel suffix".)
