One page a list: read the rule, then add the ending to each word. Then cut and sort words by rule, and use the test page with the words on its key.
Teach one list a week: read the rule together, try three words on the board, then hand out the list page. The sort and the test page work as a review.
Say a base word and an ending, like hop and -ing, and have your child spell the new word and tell the rule.
Six spelling lists of our own, one rule each: adding -s or -es, doubling the last letter, dropping the silent e, changing y to i, adding -ful, -less and -ly, and a mix of -ed and -ing. Students add the endings by the rule, sort words by rule and take a spelling test.
