Spelling
Spelling correctly is important to accurately convey thoughts to an audience. This lesson will cover (1) vowels and consonants, (2) suffixes and plurals, (3) homophones and homographs.
Vowels and Consonants
Vowels and consonants are different speech sounds in English.
The letters A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y are vowels and can create a variety of sounds. The most common are short sounds and long sounds. Long vowel sounds sound like the name of the letter such as the a in late. Short vowel sounds have a unique sound such as the a in cat. A rule for vowels is that when two vowels are walking, the first does the talking as in pain and meat.
Consonants include the other twenty-one letters in the alphabet. Consonants are weak letters and only make sounds when paired with vowels. That is why words always must have a vowel. This also means that consonants need to be doubled to make a stronger sound like sitting, grabbed, progress. Understanding general trends and patterns for vowels and consonants will help with spelling. The table below represents the difference between short and long vowels and gives examples for each.
| Symbol | Example Words | |
| Short a | a | Cat, mat, hat, pat |
| Long a | ā | Late, pain, pay, they, weight, straight |
| Short e | e | Met, said, bread |
| Long e | ē | Breeze, cheap, dean, equal |
| Short i | i | Bit, myth, kiss, rip |
| Long i | ī | Cry, pie, high |
| Sho... |
