	I give my students one simple rule .. if the verb you are adding "ed" to ends in the sound /t/ or /d/, then it is pronounced /id/. If the verb ends in any other sound, "ed" is not pronounced /id/. The /t/ and /d/ pronounciations of "ed" are hard to mess up because the voiced/unvoiced pronunciation of "ed" some how just happen right. But /id/ is very easy to add to any verb! I have a handout that gives them practice and the "rules" in writing ...

	Subject: [EnglishLanguage 953] pronunciation of ed
	
	
	
	Regarding the various pronunciations of our past tense "ed":
	
	
	
	The widely used Wilson reading program which I taught for many years teaches
	one signifier or spelling for our regular past tense: ed, but it teaches
	three pronunciations for this single spelling:
	
	
	
	T as in jumped, walked, cooked
	
	D as in spilled, watered
	
	ED as in pasted, posted, completed
