Everyone received a good check-up after learning to apply the "Floss Rule" in spelling this week!
What do they know about double consonants?
ff, ll, ss, dd, tt, zz
Each double consonant sounds like one letter.
What do these words have in common?
sniff, smell, miss, buzz
Each word has one syllable with the short vowel sound so the last two consonants are doubled.

Wait, what about words like bus and gas?
There are always rules which are broken!
The letters f, l, and s are the most common letters that double at the end of words. The girls have decided that some rules are really useful and will help them when ready and writing!
