The ending /shƏs/ is usually spelled cious or tious: |
 |
 |
| cious as in 'a delicious dessert' | tious as in 'an infectious illness' |
Sometimes, the ending of the root word can help us:
1. Words ending in tion change to tious: ambition
> ambitious
2. Words ending in ce change to cious: grace
> gracious
But mostly, we just have to learn them. Press on the icons below to help you.

"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."
