Examples: meat, seat, plain, rain, goat, road, lie, pie. Two-Vowels Together: When two vowels are next to each other, the first vowel is usually long (the sound is the same as the sound of the letter) and the second vowel is silent.If the letter after the vowel is f, l, or s, this letter is often doubled. Examples: cat, dog, man, hat, mom, dad, got. Short-Vowel Rule: When one-syllable words have a vowel in the middle, the vowel usually has a short sound.

Spelling is something that everyone has to pay attention to and keep working at it.


It is important to realize that learning to spell is a process that is never complete. You can teach yourself to be a better speller.
