Spelling 1 - Find the Wrong Spellings
The English language has an alphabet comprising five vowels and twenty-one consonants. These letters help us to construct words which allow us to communicate with one another through our writing. Spellings play an important role in understanding English and they help us to organise letters in particular ways to form words by following conventions. For instance, COUGH and STAFF have different end spellings but have the same end pronunciation.
Spellings are absolutely necessary for communication. If there were no conventional spellings in English, and no conventional pronunciations, then all of us would be confused and we would not be able to communicate with one another at all!.
