SpellingRules
1) VCE: Vowel followed by a consonant then by an e, makes a long vowel.
Example:before,side,sire,fire,gale,give
2) When y is at the end of a one syllable word it makes an I sound.
Example:by,(my)(try)
3) When y is at the end of a two syllable word it makes an e sound.
Example:hanky,safety
4) A vowel team uses two vowels to make one vowel sound, which results
in a
long vowel.
Example:reached,please,hearth,spread,head
5) When changing a word (or verb) into its ed form, if it ends in e, then
just add d.
Example:settled
6) When changing a word (or verb) into its ed form, then just add ed.
Example:tucked,started,reached,knocked,unfolded,whispered,
7) A closed syllable has one vowel and usually has a short sound
Example:in,her,it,dark,on
8) Long e sound is made with the vowel teams ee or ea and is
usually
placed in the middle of a work.
Example:trees,sleep,innkeeper,reached,please
9) Words that start with kn, the K is silent.

Examples:knew,knocked

10)
When a vowel is followed by an r, it makes a special sound.
Examples:dark,started,her,whispered,before,or,sure
11)
The letters, k and ck are more than substitutes for c and cc. They
are used to spell /k/ at the end of a monosyllable. The digraph ck
always follows a short vowel.
Examples:tucked,pocket,knocked.
