Spelling Rules for Kids Book 1

Knowing spelling rules, and their exceptions, is important because

• they help kids understand why there are “strange” letter patterns,

• which can help them understand and spell a word,

• and this can also help their reading and build your vocabulary, too.
  
  Spelling rules are in the KS1 sat exams and knowing them can help kids identify the correct spellings:
  write — writing (Drop the ‘e’ rule)
  run — runner (1:1:1 doubling up rule)
  happy — happier (-y to ‘i’ rule)
  box — boxes (Adding -es rule)
  love — lovely (Adding -ly rule)
  
  This book not only explains the rules but also the history behind unusual spellings and why pronunciation and spelling don't match.

• Spelling Rules for Kids Book 1 is a colourful/colourful, useful look at some important spellings and grammar for kids who are aged 7 and over.

• It's linked to the UK (England) Curriculum KS1 years 1 and 2 curriculum.
