    Spelling Bee - How to tackle with it - Part-1

    The nature of the English language contributes to spelling difficulties in several ways. These difficulties are explored in detail, through examples, on the pages that follow. As you review these pages, you will note that a speller must remember several factors when learning to spell new words. For example, the sound of long a can be written in at least eighteen ways. How many students realize that the is spelled et in words of French origin, such as chalet and bouquet? Other unique factors that provide problems for spellers are also addressed. After studying these pages, you will also conclude that a strong visual memory contributes significantly to spelling success. Keep in mind these two considerations when making decisions about spelling words to be studied:

  • Students should only study high-use words that are part of their reading and listening vocabularies.
  • Meanings of words should already be known before formal spelling is undertaken.

    Generalizations
    There are some generalizations, or rules, in spelling that can help writers remember unique spelling features. Researchers caution, however, that the only generalizations students should consider are those that apply to a large number of words, with very few exceptions. In the Instant Spelling Words for Writing program, seven spelling generalizations are featured because of their utility. These generalizations are as follows:

    1. Some words double the final consonant when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel.

    • get + ing = get + t + ing = getting
    • big + er = big + g + er =bigger


    2. Some words drop the final e when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel
    • have + ing = hav + ing = having
    • write + er = writ + er = writer


    3. Some words change y to i when adding a suffix not beginning with i.
    • try + ed = tri + ed = tried
    • try + ing = trying


    4. Most nouns form the plural by adding s.
    • word + s = words
    • key + s = keys


    5. Nouns ending with s, ss, sh, ch, and x form the plural by adding es.
    • inch + es = inches
    • class + es = classes


    6. Some nouns form the plural by changing y to i when adding es.
    • story + es = stori + es = stories
    • country + es = countri + es = countries


    7. Some nouns form the plural by changing f or fe to v when adding es.
    • half + es = halv + es = halves
    • wife + es = wiv + es = wives
