This week’s spellings are all to do with adding ing. This is a vital part of spelling and has some important rules to learn in order to spell reliably.
This week’s all involve doubling the last consonant before adding ing.
As usual, the last 5 (in bold italics) are only for those learning 15! Learn the right hand list only. The left hand one is just to see the base word that you’re adding ing to.
