Fascinating Fact:

Jelly, jellies and jellyfish all keep the jell- pattern. Remember to change y to i in jellies, j-e-l-l-i-e-s, not jellys.

In KS3 English spelling, students look closely at how letter patterns like je- and jell- appear in different words. Noticing shared spellings helps you link meanings, spot plurals and avoid common mistakes.

Key Terms

Consonant: A speech sound that is not a vowel, such as j, l or s, which often appears at the start or end of syllables.
Vowel: A, E, I, O or U. These letters shape the sound of a syllable and often change when words are made plural or extended.
Plural noun: A word that names more than one person, place or thing, often formed by changing the ending, such as adding -s or -ies.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What spelling rule changes jelly to jellies in KS3 English?

When a noun ends in a consonant plus y, like jelly, you usually change y to i and add -es to make the plural. That is why jelly becomes jellies in your spellings.

Which KS3 words beginning with je- are often tricky to spell?

Words such as jealous, jewellery, jeopardy and jellyfish can be tricky because of double letters and unusual vowel patterns. Saying each syllable clearly helps you remember the exact order of letters.

How can I practise je- spellings effectively for tests?

Make short spelling lists, group similar je- words together and write each one in a sentence. Test yourself after a break, then repeat on another day to fix the spellings in long-term memory.
