Break “rel” words into syllables and say each part slowly, for example re-li-able or re-late. Write the word, check it carefully, then rewrite it correctly several times.

Good strategies include using look-cover-write-check, keeping a personal spelling list, practising little and often, and reading widely so you keep seeing correct spellings in real texts.
