Floss Rule — Spelling Secrets

This video teaches a student to double the consonants in floss (f, l, s) after a short vowel (fluff, bell, miss). It teaches the ness and less suffixes that already have a double ‘ss’ (kindness, useless). It also addresses dropping the ‘l’ when adding full, till, all to base words (wonder+full=wonderful).

The video incorporates some spelling test examples and of course some exceptions.

For more information and activities, please refer to Spelling Secrets Book 1 for the floss rule activities and Spelling Secrets Book 2 for the work using prefixes and suffixes.
