Fascinating Fact:

Habit, habitat and habitual all start with hab-. Learn hab-it first, then add -itat or -itual without changing the ha- at the front.

In KS3 English spelling, students learn how word families and patterns make tricky words easier to remember. Focusing on the shared start ha- or hab- helps you select the correct spelling in context.

  • Word family: A group of words that share a root or pattern, such as habit, habitat and habitual.
  • Suffix: Letters added to the end of a word, like -ual or -itat, which change its form or grammar.
  • Context: The words and sentences around a spelling that help you decide which version is correct.
How can I tell the difference between habit and habitat in KS3 English?

Habit is something you do regularly, while habitat is the natural home of an animal or plant. Check if the sentence is about behaviour or a place to choose the right spelling.

What is the best way to learn spellings of ha- words for KS3?

Group ha- words into small lists, say them in syllables, then write short sentences using each one. Repeating this over several days helps fix the patterns in your memory.

Why do teachers focus on word patterns in spelling practice?

Word patterns help you predict spellings even when you have not seen a word before. Recognising shared starts and endings means you can work out new spellings more confidently in tests and writing.
