Sheila Rae, The Brave (Word Study)

Sheila Ray, The Brave
Author:  Kevin Henkes

Possible Common Core Standards:
RF.4.3

suffix -ed

Go on an -ed word hunt as a class or in small groups.  Put each word on a card.
giggled
walked
tied
stepped
attacked
no-handed
closed
yelled
and more

Ask students to study the ending sound of the word.  Do they all end with the 'd' sound?  Ask them to sort them.  This is a great springboard activity to getting the students to understand the sounds of -ed.  I frequently had students spell words wrong just because they didn't understand this.  You can continue the learning by adding to the word sort when reading other text and finding more -ed words.
