Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How can I remember tricky KS3 spellings that start with ge?

Say the word in syllables, write it several times and highlight the ge- beginning. Group similar words together so the shared pattern becomes familiar and easier to recall.

What is the best way to learn the spelling of genuine and generally?

Practise writing both words under each other, circling the shared gen- start. Then say gen-u-ine and gen-er-al-ly out loud so the different middle vowels stay clear in your mind.

Why do KS3 English lessons focus on spelling patterns and roots?

Patterns and roots help you decode new words, check your own spellings and understand word meanings. This supports reading accuracy and gives you more control over your writing style.
