Introduction
Spelling is an essential aspect of English language learning. It's important to master basic spelling rules to communicate effectively in English. Let's get started!

Slide 4 - Diapositive

Set the context of the lesson and get students excited about learning basic spelling rules.
C vs K
When a word has the /k/ sound, we use 'c' if it comes before 'a', 'o', 'u', and 'k'. We use 'k' if it comes before 'i', 'e', and 'y'.

Slide 5 - Diapositive

Explain the difference between the use of 'c' and 'k' in English spelling and give examples.
Silent E
When a word has a silent 'e' at the end, it usually changes the sound of the vowel before it. For example, 'hat' becomes 'hate', 'rid' becomes 'ride', and 'not' becomes 'note'.

Slide 6 - Diapositive

Explain the concept of silent 'e' and give examples of how it changes the sound of the vowel before it.
I before E
When a word has the letters 'i' and 'e' together, we usually spell them in the order 'i' before 'e', except after 'c' or when the sound is /ay/ as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'.

Slide 7 - Diapositive

Explain the rule of 'i' before 'e' and exceptions to the rule.
Double Consonants
When a word has one syllable, one vowel, and one consonant, we double the consonant when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel. For example, 'run' becomes 'running', 'hop' becomes 'hopped', and 'swim' becomes 'swimming'.

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Explain the rule of doubling consonants and give examples.
Plural Nouns
To make a noun plural, we usually add 's' at the end of the word. However, if the noun ends in 's', 'x', 'z', 'ch', or 'sh', we add 'es' at the end of the word. For example, 'cat' becomes 'cats', 'box' becomes 'boxes', and 'buzz' becomes 'buzzes'.

Slide 9 - Diapositive

Explain the rule of making nouns plural and exceptions to the rule.
Irregular Plural Nouns
Some nouns have irregular plurals. For example, 'child' becomes 'children', 'tooth' becomes 'teeth', and 'foot' becomes 'feet'.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Introduce students to irregular plural nouns and give examples.

Homophones are words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. For example, 'there', 'their', and 'they're'.
