For literacy this week we needed to write down the top ten spelling rules so here they are.
1.I before e except after c. Examples:Believe and receive.
2.Changing the y to Ies If the word has a vowel aeiou before the y we just add s If the word has a consonant before the y we add ies eg babies. Compan’ies.
3.Adding es to words ending In s, ss, z, ch, sh, x Example:Buss to buses class to classes match to matches box to boxes.
4.Doubling up rule When a word has one syllable + 1 vowel + 1 consonant=vowel suffix.Eg ing ed er.
5.Drop the e rule you drop the final silent e courage to courageous
Write to writing.
6.Changing the "y" to "i" when adding suffix endings.
beauty+ful > beauti+ful =beautiful, beautify, beautician.
7. "-f" to "-ves" or "-s". Most words ending in "-f" or "-fe" change their plurals to "-ves"
8.Words ending in -ful
The suffix –FUL is always spelt with one L.
9.When we add -ly to words ending in -ful then we have double letters
gratefully
faithfully
Hopefully.
10.When we add "all" to the beginning of words we drop the l
all + so = also.
