Fish ’Em Up: A Maggie’s Earth Adventures Activity

Students will get hooked on this fun activity as they fish for the correctly lengthened words (“skipping” for “skip;” “trying” for “try”).

In Scholastic’s “Fish ’Em Up” interactive activity, one of Maggie's Earth Adventures, students cast their virtual fishing rods to “catch” the correctly spelled word. But first, they must decide – should you double the consonant or change the Y?

Sample, Double or Not?

Sample, Change the Y?

What is the long version of donkey — donkies or donkeys?
