About This Spelling List: More words with the suffix -able

The suffix -ableis comes from Latin and is used to transform a verb or noun into an adjective. -able words usually convey the idea of capability, possibility, or suitability.

When adding -able to a base word, it is essential to understand what spelling changes that may occur. If the base word ends in an e, it is dropped before adding -able, for example believe becomes believable. If the base word ends in a vowel followed by a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled, for example regret becomes regrettable.

As always, there are rulebreakers so you use these spelling activities to learn the words in this list.

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.
