The English department at NorthLight School is pleased to teach you three tips that will help you with your spelling.

First, drop the “e” spelling rule. When a word ends with the letter “e”, we drop the “e” before adding the “ing” suffix.

All of you have worn a shirt before. Do you know that many people use “one collar and two sleeves” to remember the spelling of “necessary”? That’s because a shirt has one collar and two sleeves.

Now, let’s extend this a bit further. Some fashionable people like to wear a double-collared shirt. Hence, you can use “two collars and two sleeves” to remember the spelling of words, such as accessories and successfully.

The last tip involves the letter “Q”. Did you know that Q and U stick like glue? That’s because many words with the “qu” combination come from French. That’s right. Words like quiche originate from France.

The English department hopes that your spelling will improve by leaps and bounds with the help of these three tips.
