For the last few weeks of spellings, we will be revisiting three familiar spelling rules. This week’s spellings combine two of these rules:
double-up for short vowel sounds
and
drop the e for ing
All of the spellings double-up because of short vowel sounds. As for the second rule (drop the e for ing), because the route word of these spellings all have le on the end, when an ing is added the e is dropped.
For example,
wriggle with an ing added becomes wriggling and the e is dropped.
