3 Information As well as applying phonetic clues and spelling rules, there are lots of strategies you can use to learn to spell.

West Nottinghamshire College 29
31 Information Adding Suffixes Beginning With a Vowel A suffix is something which is added to the end of a word. Common suffixes are: -ed -ing -ful This exercise is about adding vowel suffixes (-ed, -ing, etc) and concerns only words of one syllable that do not end in w, x, or y. The rule is: when you are adding a vowel suffix, double the last letter if it follows immediately after a single vowel. but: stop, stopped wet, wetting leap, leaped wet, wetness Exercise 17 Make two (or three) words from each of the following words, using the suffixes shown in the brackets.

(defy) 15) He bolted the door and. us admission. (deny) West Nottinghamshire College 1
33 Information Suffixes able and ible From the word prevent we get preventable, spelt with a, but convert gives us convertible, with an i.

Exercise 19 With a coloured pen write in the missing letters. 1) What makes him so irrit ble? 2) This is a sens ble suggestion. ) He would make an admir ble prefect. 4) Is the disease cur ble? 5) Smoking is not permiss ble in this hall. 6) Do you think it advis ble for us to go without coats? 7) The frost did a neglig ble amount of damage. 8) Her stockings are almost invis ble. 9) Strong boots are indispens ble for rock climbing. 10) She is a very excit ble girl. 11) I hold you respons ble for the safe keeping of this book. 12) His insulting manner was contempt ble. 1) They told us an almost incred ble story of hardship and danger. 14) The village is not approach ble from the north. 15) The village is easily access ble from the west. 16) Is it poss ble for man to reach Mars?

ROOT WORD + -ed + -ing propel feel control cool fail label unseal travel reveal expel signal Make two lists of the root words, one which doubles the l and one which doesn t. Highlight the two letters before the l. Double l Single l What do you notice? Can you make up a rule to help you remember when you double the l and when not to? West Nottinghamshire College

Double t Single t Now write a rule to help? Investigate if this happens with any other consonants. Make a note of some examples of them here. West Nottinghamshire College 4
