1+1+1 (CVC) Spelling Rule

In this lesson, we learned the 1+1+1 (CVC) Spelling Rule. This rule states that when you have:

1 syllable base word +1 vowel + 1 consonant at the end of the word, you will double the consonant when adding a vowel suffix (-er, -est, –ing, -y).

Example

Word 1 Syllable 1 Vowel 1 Consonant at the end New Word

 

pit + ed pitted
tilt + ed tilted
run + ing running
jump + ing jumping
hot + est hottest
smart smartest
fun + y funny
silk + y silky

Practice

Complete the spelling of each word.

Example – scam + ed = scammed

slim + er =
spit + ing =
plan + ed =
skit + s =
skid + ing =
bench + ed =
depress + ed =
kind + er =
grip + ed =
spin + ing =
fit + est =
hint + ing =
wet + er =
ding + s =
