  • What is the 'i before e except after c' rule?

    This rule states that in English, 'i' usually comes before 'e' except after 'c', as seen in words like 'believe' and 'receive'.

  • What should you do if a word ends with 'y' and you're adding something to it?

    If a word ends with 'y', drop the 'y' and change it to 'i' before adding the suffix, such as in 'happy' becoming 'happiness'.

    If a word ends with 'e' and you're changing its form, drop the 'e' before adding the suffix, like 'smile' to 'smiling'.

    When forming compound words, you do not change the spelling of the individual words, for example, 'roommate' and 'bookkeeper'.

  • What should you do if you're unsure about how to spell a word?

    Try sounding it out, think of the spelling rules, check a dictionary, or ask a friend or teacher for help.

    hello students today we are going to
  • 00:00:02
    practice with spelling
  • 00:00:06
    you have a sheet that looks like this it
  • 00:00:08
    has four spaces for four different
  • 00:00:11
    spelling rules
  • 00:00:12
    we are going to go over each of those
  • 00:00:14
    spelling rules i'm going to share some
  • 00:00:16
    examples with you while you're watching
  • 00:00:18
    you can pause the video
  • 00:00:19
    or if you have your screen split
  • 00:00:23
    you can go through and fill this in as i
  • 00:00:25
    share the examples with you
  • 00:00:27
    so first of all i just want to tell you
  • 00:00:29
    that english is a very beautiful
  • 00:00:31
    yet complicated language all of these
  • 00:00:34
    rules i am going to share with you
  • 00:00:36
    there are exceptions to them so that's
  • 00:00:39
    one of the things that makes spelling
  • 00:00:41
    and english a little bit difficult
  • 00:00:44
    but it's also extremely important that
  • 00:00:47
    you
  • 00:00:47
    spell words correctly when you are
  • 00:00:50
    presenting and sharing your writing with
  • 00:00:52
    other people
  • 00:00:53
    so we're going to just look at different
  • 00:00:55
    ways for you to
  • 00:00:56
    practice with a few rules and then also
  • 00:00:59
    some strategies for polishing and
  • 00:01:01
    editing your work
  • 00:01:02
    before you share it with others so first
  • 00:01:05
    of all let's look at this rule
  • 00:01:07
    i before e except after c
  • 00:01:11
    i'm going to share an example with you
  • 00:01:13
    let's let's look at the word
  • 00:01:14
    believe b e l now our rule tells us
  • 00:01:19
    i before e i e v
  • 00:01:22
    e that is correct
  • 00:01:25
    believe now let's look at an exception
  • 00:01:30
    so it says here on this little page of
  • 00:01:33
    rules
  • 00:01:33
    i before e except after
  • 00:01:37
    c so let's look at a word that has that
  • 00:01:39
    except in it
  • 00:01:40
    and that an example is the word receive
  • 00:01:43
    r e c now it's i before e
  • 00:01:46
    except after c so that means we're going
  • 00:01:48
    to flip e
  • 00:01:50
    i v e receive
  • 00:01:54
    this word is correct there's another
  • 00:01:57
    exception though y'all
  • 00:01:58
    and that is except after c
  • 00:02:02
    or oops so that font is super big let me
  • 00:02:06
    change it
  • 00:02:09
    or when it sounds like
  • 00:02:12
    a
  • 00:02:15
    you may think to yourself what are you
  • 00:02:17
    talking about lady
  • 00:02:19
    i'm going to give you two examples so
  • 00:02:22
    you know what i mean when i say it
  • 00:02:24
    sounds like
  • 00:02:25
    a
  • 00:02:28
    let's look at the word neighbor n
  • 00:02:31
    e i g h b o r it's i before e
  • 00:02:36
    except after c there's no c here but it
  • 00:02:39
    sounds like a
  • 00:02:40
    neighbor and another example is the word
  • 00:02:43
    way
  • 00:02:47
    we're going to just just i'm going to
  • 00:02:48
    write on this just a little bit so you
  • 00:02:50
    can see what i'm talking about
  • 00:02:52
    because i just think that makes it a
  • 00:02:54
    little bit easier so
  • 00:02:56
    i before e
  • 00:02:59
    except after c that's right here
  • 00:03:03
    or when it sounds like a neighbor
  • 00:03:08
    way and if you notice this kind of
  • 00:03:10
    rhymes that's the way i learned it when
  • 00:03:12
    i was a kid
  • 00:03:13
    i before e except after c or when
  • 00:03:16
    sounding like a
  • 00:03:17
    as in neighbor and way i know you've got
  • 00:03:21
    that
  • 00:03:21
    so let's look at another the next role
  • 00:03:24
    and it's
  • 00:03:25
    at the end of a word change y to an
  • 00:03:28
    i so if this is if a word ends with the
  • 00:03:30
    letter y if you're adding something to
  • 00:03:33
    the end of it
  • 00:03:34
    you got to drop that y and turn it into
  • 00:03:36
    an i
  • 00:03:37
    here is an example let's look at the
  • 00:03:39
    word study
  • 00:03:41
    what if you want to say studied i
  • 00:03:44
    studied
  • 00:03:45
    then you get rid of that y and turn it
  • 00:03:48
    into ied
  • 00:03:51
    easy let's look at another example
  • 00:03:54
    we're going to practice with the word
  • 00:03:57
    happy you have happy h-a-p-p-y
  • 00:04:02
    let's say we want to say happiness we
  • 00:04:05
    drop that y
  • 00:04:06
    turn it into an i and then just add the
  • 00:04:09
    rest of the letters we need
  • 00:04:11
    n-e-s-s happiness
  • 00:04:15
    okay let's look at rule number three
  • 00:04:18
    drop the final e when changing the end
  • 00:04:21
    of a word
  • 00:04:22
    this is very similar to this y to an i
  • 00:04:25
    business
  • 00:04:26
    except you just change the e it ends
  • 00:04:29
    with an e
  • 00:04:30
    so we have the word smile we want to
  • 00:04:33
    change that
  • 00:04:34
    to smiling all you do is
  • 00:04:38
    cut that e out and you add the ending of
  • 00:04:41
    the word
  • 00:04:42
    smiling let's practice again what if you
  • 00:04:46
    have the word
  • 00:04:46
    argue you get rid of the e
  • 00:04:50
    and now it becomes arguing
  • 00:04:53
    got two opposites here right smile and
  • 00:04:56
    argue
  • 00:04:58
    all right i hope you're keeping track of
  • 00:05:00
    your notes page
  • 00:05:01
    let's do one more dear student and this
  • 00:05:04
    is whenever you are joining two words
  • 00:05:06
    you're making a compound word
  • 00:05:08
    you do not change the spelling of the
  • 00:05:10
    words to combine them
  • 00:05:12
    for example let's say you're writing the
  • 00:05:13
    word roommate you write the word room
  • 00:05:16
    you put the word mate you don't change
  • 00:05:19
    anything else you just combine them
  • 00:05:21
    roommate easy
  • 00:05:24
    let's change let's write the word
  • 00:05:26
    bookkeeper we have book
  • 00:05:29
    we're going to add keeper even though
  • 00:05:31
    they both end with e and you might think
  • 00:05:33
    to yourself lady
  • 00:05:34
    that's too many k's it's not so we're
  • 00:05:37
    just going to say
  • 00:05:38
    bookkeeper
  • 00:05:42
    there we go joining two words so they're
  • 00:05:45
    becoming a compound word but we don't
  • 00:05:47
    change the spelling of either one of
  • 00:05:48
    them
  • 00:05:51
    so what if you are
  • 00:05:54
    writing a paper you're sending a text
  • 00:05:57
    message i don't know
  • 00:05:58
    you're doing something where you're
  • 00:05:59
    having to compose what if you can't
  • 00:06:01
    figure out the word you can't figure out
  • 00:06:03
    how to spell it
  • 00:06:04
    one try to sound the word out that might
  • 00:06:07
    sound silly because you think that
  • 00:06:08
    that's something that young elementary
  • 00:06:10
    kids do but it's not sometimes you just
  • 00:06:12
    need to break the word apart and say it
  • 00:06:14
    slowly
  • 00:06:15
    definitely that's one of my words that
  • 00:06:18
    always throws me off
  • 00:06:20
    sound it out another thing you can do is
  • 00:06:22
    think about the spelling rules that you
  • 00:06:25
    have learned and just what you know
  • 00:06:26
    about spelling
  • 00:06:28
    the next step would be to check the
  • 00:06:30
    dictionary
  • 00:06:31
    then after that ask somebody maybe you
  • 00:06:34
    can't find the word of the dictionary
  • 00:06:36
    you don't have a dictionary with you
  • 00:06:37
    do that first but then if you can't if
  • 00:06:40
    you can't for whatever reason
  • 00:06:41
    you should ask a friend or a classmate
  • 00:06:44
    or finally
  • 00:06:45
    lastly ask your teacher let's take a
  • 00:06:48
    moment though to think about what if
  • 00:06:49
    you're in a situation
  • 00:06:51
    like the star test right you can do this
  • 00:06:54
    you can't do this so you only have
  • 00:06:57
    options one through three
  • 00:06:58
    so a big one to do is to check the
  • 00:07:01
    dictionary
  • 00:07:02
    so let's just talk about a little bit
  • 00:07:05
    more about the testing situation
  • 00:07:08
    what words should you be looking up in
  • 00:07:10
    the dictionary
  • 00:07:11
    for sure every word that you are unsure
  • 00:07:14
    about
  • 00:07:15
    if it's a word that you did have to go
  • 00:07:17
    through and sound it out or think about
  • 00:07:19
    your spelling rules
  • 00:07:20
    it's best to go back and double check
  • 00:07:22
    those words to make that's a check mark
  • 00:07:24
    by the way
  • 00:07:25
    to make sure that you have spelt them
  • 00:07:27
    correctly
  • 00:07:29
    also if there's a word that you just
  • 00:07:30
    keep on repeating
  • 00:07:32
    maybe it's one of your examples it's
  • 00:07:35
    just a word that you like
  • 00:07:36
    and you just keep using it you should
  • 00:07:38
    check it to make sure you're not using
  • 00:07:40
    that word
  • 00:07:41
    wrong repeatedly because that would be a
  • 00:07:43
    bad situation dear students
  • 00:07:45
    and then finally if it's a word from the
  • 00:07:47
    prompt like
  • 00:07:48
    integrity or honesty or something like
  • 00:07:52
    that
  • 00:07:53
    you should look that word up in the
  • 00:07:55
    dictionary or just read the prompt
  • 00:07:57
    carefully and make sure you're spelling
  • 00:07:59
    it right because
  • 00:08:00
    if the star test or any test it gives
  • 00:08:03
    you a word
  • 00:08:04
    you sure as heck don't want to spell
  • 00:08:06
    that word incorrectly right
  • 00:08:09
    so we're going to take a moment to
  • 00:08:10
    practice i have a paragraph here for you
  • 00:08:14
    it's just a short one
  • 00:08:15
    and we're going to practice using some
  • 00:08:16
    of those strategies that we just talked
  • 00:08:18
    about
  • 00:08:19
    so let's say you have this prompt write
  • 00:08:21
    an essay stating your position on
  • 00:08:23
    whether or not
  • 00:08:24
    fear can sometimes lead to success and i
  • 00:08:27
    started writing off a pic writing a
  • 00:08:28
    paragraph to your students
  • 00:08:30
    you have this paragraph on your
  • 00:08:32
    note-taking page
  • 00:08:33
    so you can take it and just kind of fill
  • 00:08:35
    along fill in with us
  • 00:08:36
    as as i go so let's say let's read the
  • 00:08:40
    intro
  • 00:08:41
    listening to the coach so you won't run
  • 00:08:43
    laps
  • 00:08:45
    studying for a test not to get grounded
  • 00:08:48
    well that's kind of a tricky word let's
  • 00:08:51
    look at it
  • 00:08:52
    study our rule tells us that we should
  • 00:08:56
    put
  • 00:08:57
    but that doesn't look right actually we
  • 00:08:58
    got the correction on it that's an
  • 00:09:00
    example
  • 00:09:01
    of the word that does not follow the
  • 00:09:03
    rule study
  • 00:09:05
    i'd automatically spell checked it for
  • 00:09:06
    me and that's what i wanted to do
  • 00:09:08
    but if i wasn't sure i could go to a
  • 00:09:11
    site like the dictionary
  • 00:09:13
    and i can just go through and
  • 00:09:18
    make sure that i'm spelling the word
  • 00:09:20
    correctly so
  • 00:09:21
    studying if i look it up i see study
  • 00:09:26
    and it'll it'll help me figure out if
  • 00:09:28
    i'm spelling the word
  • 00:09:30
    correctly or not so
  • 00:09:33
    here we go right here studying now i
  • 00:09:35
    know that i
  • 00:09:36
    that is correct studying for a test not
  • 00:09:39
    to get grounded
  • 00:09:41
    always wearing a detention tool
  • 00:09:44
    an id excuse me to avoid receiving
  • 00:09:48
    detention
  • 00:09:49
    we know that is i before
  • 00:09:52
    e except after c
  • 00:09:58
    receiving detention these are all
  • 00:10:01
    times that fear has made a person make
  • 00:10:04
    the right decision
  • 00:10:05
    fear motivates a person to be
  • 00:10:09
    successful that's one of the words from
  • 00:10:10
    the prompt so i want to use it
  • 00:10:12
    and like we said in our spelling tips
  • 00:10:15
    it's really important that you go
  • 00:10:16
    through
  • 00:10:17
    and you make sure that you are spelling
  • 00:10:19
    the word from the prompt correctly
  • 00:10:21
    success can sometimes throw people off
  • 00:10:23
    with the double c and the double
  • 00:10:25
    s so just look there and make sure it's
  • 00:10:27
    right
  • 00:10:30
    and you can also i have this linked here
  • 00:10:33
    too
  • 00:10:33
    you can always go to the dictionary and
  • 00:10:35
    type in the word that you need
  • 00:10:37
    to see if that can help you too all
  • 00:10:39
