Reinforce your spelling skills with printable worksheets for: ll words (copy).
Towards the end of a word, it's sometimes necessary to repeat a consonant when there's a short vowel sound. This occurs in spelling when the short vowel sound is followed by specific letters: f, s, and l.
In the words listed here, the l is doubled after the short vowel sound.
Consider the word bell which contains a short /e/ sound and concludes with an l sound. This mandates the usage of a double l in its spelling.
Similarly, in the word fill, there's a short /i/ sound before the l sound, which indicates the need for a double l as well.
Say these ll words aloud as you learn them. Can you hear the short vowel sound?
