About this test list: Words with doubled letters

These words follow the doubling rule, where the final consonant doubles when adding a vowel suffix to a word ending in a single short vowel and one consonant.

For example:

flap + -ing flapping

dip + -ed dipped

This pattern helps keep the vowel sounds short and clear. The list below includes examples to help you recognise and apply this rule.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
