Base Words and Endings Some words with endings are easier to read when I figure out what the base word is. Sometimes I can just cover the ending to find the base word, but sometimes the base word was changed to add the ending. That’s when I remember the rules for adding endings.

Base Words and Endings Rules If a word ends with one consonant and one vowel, double the final consonant. If a word ends with silent e, drop the e. If a word ends with y, change y to i before adding –ed, -er, or –est.

Skim and Scan Think about a time when you read quickly through a textbook or reading passage. What kind of information were you looking for? There are two ways to quickly find information while reading.

Skim and Scan Skimming is a way to quickly find the main idea of a text. You can also skim a text to locate parts of interest. To skim, you might read titles, subtitles, subheadings, illustrations, and captions. Often the first sentence in each paragraph, or the first two or three paragraphs along with the last, will give you a good amount of information.

Skim and Scan Scanning is when you look for certain words or ideas. Readers might scan a document to see if it is useful for a research project. Scanning can also help a reader determine which parts of a text to read in more detail.
