Loading... Please wait...Spelling Rules Book, "Why Isn't 'Phonetic' Spelled the Way it Sounds?" is a sine qua non for competitive spellers. Our 150-page compilation expounds on spelling rules and conventions to promote less reliance on rote memorization and more on understanding language. Students learn when to use -ible rather than -able, for example, and they will never look at the i-before-e rule the same way again! This book explains rules for spelling words from foreign languages which are included in our dictionaries. An encyclopedic list of Greek and Latin roots with definitions and words derived from each is included.
A Hexco favorite!

Never before have I seen a book available that understands what is necessary to help study for the National Bee! This book is such a help!
My child is working their way through it and already it is helping her understand ALL of the rules for remembering how to spell foreign words!
Thanks a million, Hexco!
