, BASIC SPELLING RULES
Z Short-Vowel Rule: When one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel
usually has a short sound. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got. If the letter
after the vowel is f, l, or s, this letter is often doubled. Examples: staff, ball, pass.
Z Two-Vowels Together: When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is
usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is
silent. Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie.
Z Vowel-Consonant-e Pattern: When a short word, or the last syllable of a longer word,
ends in this pattern vowel-consonant-e, then the first vowel is usually long and the e is
silent. Examples: place, cake, mice, vote, mute.
Z Y as a long I: The letter y makes the long sound of i when it comes at the end of a
short word that has no other vowel. Examples: cry, try, my, fly, by, hi.
Z Y as a long E: When y or ey ends a word in an unaccented syllable, the y has the long
sound of e. Examples: money, honey, many, key, funny.
Z I before E: Write i before e when the sound is long e except after the letter c.
Examples: relieve, relief, reprieve. When there is a c preceding, then it
is ei : receipt, receive, ceiling, deceive, conceive.
Z E before I: Write e before i when the sound is long a. Examples: weight, freight, reign.
Z Oi or Oy: Use oi in the middle of a word and use oy at the end of a word.
Examples: boil, soil, toil, boy, toy.
Z Ou or Ow: Use ou in the middle of a word and use ow at the end of words other than
those that end in n or d.
Examples: mouse, house, found, mount, borrow, row, throw, crow.
Z Double Consonants: When b, d, g, m, n, or p appear after a short vowel in a word with
two syllables, double the consonant.
Examples: rabbit, manner, dagger, banner, drummer.
Z The ch sound: At the beginning of a word, use ch. At the end of a word, use tch. When
the ch sound is followed by ure or ion, use t.
Examples: choose, champ, watch, catch, picture, rapture.
