    Common Spelling Patterns to Watch Out For

    • Doubling consonants occurs when a word ends in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, resulting in the consonant being doubled before adding a suffix (e.g., -ed, -ing, -er, etc.); example: run → running
    • Dropping E occurs when a word ends in -e, and the -e is often dropped before adding a suffix (e.g., -ing, -ed, etc.); example: love → loving
    • Changing Y to I occurs when a word ends in a consonant + y, and the y is often changed to i before adding a suffix (e.g., -es, -ed, etc.); example: city → cities
    • Silent letters can affect the pronunciation and spelling of words; example: knight (silent k)

    Word Families and Patterns

    • Words ending in -at, -an, or -in often have similar patterns and can be confused with one another; examples: cat, can, kin
    • Words ending in -ite, -ate, or -ight often have similar patterns and can be confused with one another; examples: site, date, night
