Last Friday we learned all about the king of ING!
I have seen this idea around mannnnnnnny times, but I believe the first place I saw the king of ing was in one of my Mailbox magazines circa 2010 (or so?). The second I read about it, I knew I would always teach the ing sound using your highness!
I walked around all morning talking in a British accent (why!? I don’t know) adding “-ing” to every word I could.
My students got a a kick out of it… they think I am quite silly.
To kick us off we made this little anchor chart to help us remember the ING spelling pattern:
The kiddos just LOVED it… especially because they started talking in British accents too! Ha – I wish you could’ve heard us… they were emphasizING every word they would say that had “ing” in it!
Just perfect!
I just drew the crowns that morning, so the template is not the best, but I did scan it in along with some other worksheets we completed to practice the “ing” spelling pattern. I made it available as a new freebie! You can grab the pack below!
If you snag a copy, please leave me some feedback in my store so I know what you think 🙂

Adorable! Accents are the easiest way to get students' attention! Sometimes I think I should teach with an accent all day long!

Thanks for the freebie. Such a fun way to help them remember. The book, Kid Writing by Eileen Feldgus and Isabell Cardonick uses the King of ing and other cute chunks to support young writers. I highly recommend the book! It is great.
I have never heard of it! I will have to check it out! Thanks for the tip 🙂
So cute! I bet your students had a really fun day that they will remember for quite some time!
