Fascinating Fact:

Message and messenger share mess-. Spell them mes-sage and mes-sen-ger, keeping mess- at the start in both words.

In KS3 English spelling, students study word families and spelling patterns. Focusing on words beginning with me- helps you notice shared chunks, spot double letters and build secure spelling habits.

  • Word family: A group of related words that share a similar pattern or root, such as message, messenger and messaging.
  • Root word: The simplest form of a word that carries the main meaning, before any prefixes or suffixes are added.
  • Spelling pattern: A letter pattern that appears in several words, which you can learn and reuse to spell similar words correctly.
Which KS3 words beginning with me- are often in spelling tests?

Common KS3 spelling words beginning with me- include message, messenger, memory, medal, mention and method. Learning these as a word family helps you remember the shared me- and internal patterns.

How can I remember the double s in words like message?

Focus on the chunk mess at the start, then add the ending. Saying mess-age and mess-en-ger aloud helps you hear the double s and see that the mess- pattern stays the same in both words.

What is the best way to revise KS3 spelling patterns?

Group words by pattern, such as me- or mess-, then read, say and write them several times. Testing yourself in short bursts and using the words in sentences makes the spellings much more secure.
