This week, Ms. Kera cooked up something fun in tutoring—sorting -ed verbs by their ending sounds: /d/, /t/, or /ɪd/ (like “wanted”). Each “burger layer” represented a different sound! 🔤👂

👉 Swipe to see how our burger came together with tasty words like:

/d/ — played, cleaned
/t/ — laughed, jumped
/ɪd/ — needed, wanted

This hands-on activity helps students hear the difference, not just see it. 🍟📝
