Fascinating Fact:

Industry, industrial and industrialise all keep indust- at the front. Learn in-dus-try first, then add -rial or -rial-ise without changing ind-.

In KS3 English spelling, students look closely at word families and roots. Spotting patterns in words beginning with ind- helps you remember spellings and see how meanings link across related forms.

  • Word family: A group of related words that share the same root or pattern, such as industry, industrial and industrialise.
  • Spelling pattern: A repeated letter sequence in different words that can be learned and reused to help with accurate spelling.
  • Suffix: A group of letters added to the end of a word, like -rial or -ise, which changes its form or use in a sentence.
How can I remember tricky words beginning with ind-?

Learn one root word such as industry and say it in syllables, in-dus-try. Then link it to related words, like industrial and industrialise, so you keep the same starting pattern in mind.

Why do industry, industrial and industrialise look so similar?

They belong to the same word family and share the root indust-. Only the endings change to show different uses, such as noun, adjective or verb, while the front of the word stays the same.

How do word families help with KS3 spelling revision?

Word families help you revise several words at once. When you link spellings and meanings together, you reduce the chance of random mistakes and make it easier to recall spellings in tests and essays.
