Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I remember spellings of words beginning with con in KS3 English?

Look for the shared prefix con at the start, say the word in syllables and write a short list of con words. Practise them in sentences to fix the spelling.

What is the best way to learn new KS3 spelling patterns?

Group words that share the same pattern, read them aloud, then test yourself by covering and rewriting them. Using the words in your own writing also helps them stick.

Why is it useful to group spellings by their prefixes?

When you learn a prefix like con, you can recognise it in many words. This means you remember several spellings at once instead of learning every word separately.
