Fascinating Fact:

Flower and flour sound the same but mean different things. Flower is the plant part, flour is for baking, so use the sentence to choose the right spelling.

In KS3 English Spelling, you learn how word families and patterns help with tricky choices. Looking at prefixes, roots and sentence meaning makes similar spellings easier to remember.

  • Homophone: Words that sound the same when spoken but have different spellings and meanings.
  • Prefix: A group of letters added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning or create a new word.
  • Syllable: A beat of sound in a word, like flo-wer (two syllables) or flour (one syllable).
How can I tell which homophone spelling to use in KS3 English?

Read the whole sentence and think about the meaning. Once you know what the writer is talking about, choose the spelling that matches that meaning rather than the sound.

What is the best way to revise tricky KS3 spelling patterns?

Group words into families, say them in syllables and write them in short sentences. Regular practice with small sets of words is more effective than learning huge lists at once.

Why is accurate spelling important in KS3 English?

Accurate spelling makes your writing clearer and more professional, helps examiners understand your ideas easily, and can gain you marks for technical accuracy in assessments.
