Spelling 02

Here is some more spelling practice for hard-working GCSE pupils! Amazingly, some of the trickiest words to spell in English can also be some of the most ordinary. 'Basically' is a word you are likely to hear several times a day, but it is also one of the most commonly misspelled words, too (people often misspell it as 'basicly'). Practice, practice and more practice is the answer.

Test your spelling with this second revision quiz on the subject.
