if a word has one vowel, and ends in f,l,s,or z, you must double these consonanaunts, exp. ff, ll. The vowel will make it's soft sound in these words. Exceptions are bus, gas and yes...which come from longer words, or phrase:)

this unit is pronounced as one sound. It is always spelled this way with the exception of doll

apple, eddy, itchy, olive, upper......vowels

if c is followed by watch vowels...

E, I, Y....it makes the 's' sound, otherwise it makes the 'k' sound

has only one vowel and has a consonant at the end, the vowel will make it's soft sound

when two consonant sounds blend together, exp....cl, fl, sl, st,

when two consonant sounds create a new sound....ch, ck, sh, th, wh

in a word with 1 vowel, the /k/ sound at the end will never be spelled with a C. so at the end of such a word your choice is k or ck. Only use ck right after a short vowel, otherwise use K.

exception to the milk truck rule.

words that end in /kt/ such as fact, are always spelled ct, latin origin

tch and ch make the /ch/ sound. You use the long spelling tch directly after a short vowel, as in ca tch. You use ch after a short vowel and a consonant, as in lun ch

this rule says if a k sound comes before e,i,y watch vowels use a k, if it comes before any other vowels use a c, c used most often

on multi syllable words because it only applies to word that have one vowel....so it does not apply to syllables

in an open syllable, a long U can make two sounds, U or oo, if a u comes after an L or an R, it almost always makes the ee-oo sound as in Flu

the SEE sound at the end of a word is spelled:

cy, as iln Nancy, most of the time

The only time you spell ic as I C is at the end of a multi-syllable word like MU SIC. If it is one syllable you will spell it ICK as in Trick

Picnic Chicken Basket Rule

this rule shows you when to use the k sound in multi-syllable words, use a c if you can, then a ck, then a k...remember to look for watch out vowels, soft vowel sounds and consonants after vowels to decide what you can use.
