This week, we’ve been learning one of our three key spelling rules: double up for a short vowel sound. There are many generalisations in the English language and this is one of them. But, we believe it’s one of the most important – there are, of course, some exceptions. The double up for a short vowel sound rule means that when there is a short vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u) in a word we double up the consonant after it. For example, in the word ‘accident’ the ‘a’ is a short ‘ay’ sound so the consonant after it (c) is doubled up – a CC ident.

This week, we’d like you to practise spelling words that contain the ‘ee’ sound. What makes this tricky is that this sound can be spelled in different ways. For example, in the word ‘breathe’ the ‘ee’ sound is made by the letters ‘ea’. However, in the word ‘money’ the ‘ee’ sound is made by ‘ey’.

This week, we’d like you to practise spelling words that contain the ‘ay’ sound, again. This is because we really need to cement this learning. What makes this tricky is that this sound can be spelled in different ways. For example, in the word ‘eight’ the ‘ay’ sound is made by the letters ‘ei’. However, in the word ‘famous’ the ‘ay’ sound is made by the ‘a’.
