Unit 9: Suffixes: why we need to double letters, change them or drop 'e'

You skipped the test. |
Yes, it’s that time again! There are some words that just have to break the rules. |
Not all words that end in e have a first long vowel sound. You may remember that very few English words end in v. Instead we use:
have | give | live | love | active |
When you add a vowel suffix, you do not need to double the v (very few words have a double v because it looks too much like w). However, drop the e as normal:
having | giving | living | lover | activity |
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
Thank you!
