Fascinating Fact:

Local, locate and location link to “place”. Spell them lo-cal, lo-cate, lo-ca-tion and notice that loca- stays the same.

In KS3 English spelling, students explore word families that begin with lo-. They learn how roots such as loca-, log- and long- work, then add different endings to create precise meanings.

Key Terms

Word root: The basic part of a word that carries its main meaning, before prefixes or suffixes are added.
Word family: A group of related words built from the same root, such as local, locality and location.
Suffix: A group of letters added to the end of a root word, like -al or -tion, which changes its meaning or word class.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How can I improve my KS3 spelling of lo- words?

To improve KS3 spelling of lo- words, group them into families, say each syllable slowly, then write them in short sentences. Repeating this over several days helps patterns stay in your memory.

What is the difference between local, locate and location?

Local describes something near a place, locate means to find the position of something, and location is the noun for the place itself. All three share the same root but have different endings and uses.

Why are word roots useful for KS3 English spelling?

Word roots are useful because they link many words together. If you recognise a root like loca-, you can guess meanings, check spellings more quickly and understand unfamiliar words in your reading.
