SPELLING RULES –

Rule #1
Whenever there is a 1 syllable word, ending in 1 vowel and 1 consonant, then the last consonant is doubled.

For example:
• Big- Biggest,
• Short- Shorter,
• Run- Running,
• Stop-Stopped
Exceptions: We don't double up the final consonant when it's w, x or y
For example: Wowed, Xeroxing, Praying

Rule #2
When 1st syllable is stressed, ends with 1 vowel and followed by 1 consonant then the last consonant is not doubled.

For Example:
• ENTer- Entered
• LISten – Listening
• SIMple- Simpler
• QUIet – Quietest

Rule #3
When 2nd syllable is stressed, ends with 1 vowel, and followed by 1 consonant then the last consonant is stressed:

For example:
• prefer (preFER) - preferring/preferred
• begin (beGIN) - beginning, beginner
• regret (reGRET) - regretting
• occur (oCUR) - occurred, occurring
