Others have developed from common usage by Americans with different dialects and unique expressions. There are some tricks and tips that will help you become a better speller. For example, students are often confused when e and i are next to each other. “Use i before e except after c or when sounded as aye, as in neighbor and weigh.” So freight, reign, and vein all have a long a sound and are spelled with “ei.” Words with “cei” include receive, deceive , and ceiling. The long e sound is the opposite and includes such words as yield, believe , and siege. “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.” When there are two vowels in a row, the first one is the one sounded out, as in stream and roast. The only word that ends in “full” is full. All other words end in “ful,” as in thoughtful, fearful, and delightful. Other tips to help your spelling are to learn the correct spelling and meanings for simple homophones, such as there (over there), their (belonging to them), and they’re (“they are”).
