Spelling Rules Book, Why Isn Phonetic Spelled The Way It Sounds?
How do I know when to use ‘ible’ instead of ‘able’ in a suffix? Is there a way to tell whether I should double the first letter of a word when I add a prefix? The Spelling Rules Book addresses these topics, and it can be used in conjunction with a list of words whereby a rule is analyzed, then appropriate words are found in any word list that adhere to the particular rule. Nothing is better for building and expanding a student’s spelling foundation than our Spelling Rules Book! The book covers it all, from the basic rules most of us learn early, like i-before-e, when to add apostrophes for possessives, and how to make plurals, to more complex rules. These include exceptions to the i-before-e rules, the more unusual rules, such as when to add -ible instead of -able, and the differences between -itis and -itus or between dis- and dys-. Beyond that, it contains an extensive etymology section, with as many Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes as you can find in most lists collecti
