Study the word list: ss words

At the end of a word, sometimes you need to double a consonant after a short vowel sound. This happens in spellings when the short vowel sound is followed by one of these letters: f, s, and l.

In these examples, the s has been doubled after the short vowel sound. Say each word aloud as you learn it.

You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries.
