Unit 2: Spelling the consonant sounds, Part 1
Page 9 of 13
 |
We know of five words which break this rule: |
| tic | (see below). |
| limerick | a humorous five-line poem. |
| derrick | a kind of crane that moves heavy weights or a framework that sits over a platform. |
| maverick | a person who follows his or her own rules. |
| gimmick | a trick to attract attention. |
 |
If you confuse these words the computer spellchecker will not spot
your mistake - so it is especially important to learn them. |
| tick - a) a mark meaning correct:  b) the noise a clock makes. c) insect that burrows into flesh. tic - small muscle movement. |
Put a tick on the right word. That old watch has loud tick. The dog has been bitten by ticks. He can't control the tic on his face. |
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
