This is the 3rd year I have been organising my school’s Spelling Bee. After two years under my belt, I decided to get my act together and zero in on the various rules that I hope students could learn before they graduate from my school. These words are targeted towards 13-16-year-olds. The words may come across as simple for you, and some of them really are. I took into consideration the fact that these self-conscious teenagers would be demonstrating their spelling chips in front of the entire school and wanted to set them up for success. I also wanted them to spell words which they are likely to use in their educational journey. Without further ado, here are the words and associated rules: - 13-14-year-olds 15-16-year-olds Drop the e discouraging communicating Doubling consonant trekking regrettable Change y to ies opportunities possibilities -tion destination inspirational Q n U stick like glue quirky quality -able delectable commendable -ly additionally authentically -ence resilience assistance -ity nationality individuality What do you think of the words? Let me know in the comments below!
