Spelling Rules worksheet for students to practice and apply spelling rules.

You're right — the image you uploaded is a Spelling Rules worksheet from 15Worksheets.com. The task is:

> DIRECTIONS: Write a word that is an example of each spelling rule.

There are 16 spelling rules listed, and for each one, you need to write one example word that follows that rule.

---

Here’s the solution with explanations for each rule:

---

1. Every word has at least one vowel.

✔ Example: cat
*Explanation:* All English words must contain at least one vowel (a, e, i, o, u). “Cat” has ‘a’.

---

2. Every syllable has at least one vowel.

✔ Example: baby (ba-by → 2 syllables, each has a vowel)
*Explanation:* Each syllable must have a vowel sound. “Baby” = /ˈbeɪ.bi/ — both syllables have vowels.

---

3. C can say /k/ or /s/. C says /s/ before an e, i, or y.

✔ Example: city
*Explanation:* “C” before “i” makes the /s/ sound: /s/ in “city”.

---

4. C says /k/ before everything else.

✔ Example: cat
*Explanation:* “C” before “a” makes the /k/ sound.

---

5. G can say /g/ or /j/. G may say /j/ before an e, i, or y.

✔ Example: giant
*Explanation:* “G” before “i” makes the /j/ sound (like in “giant”).

---

6. G says /g/ before everything else.

✔ Example: go
*Explanation:* “G” before “o” makes the hard /g/ sound.

---

7. Q is always followed by a u.

✔ Example: queen
*Explanation:* In English, “q” is almost always followed by “u” — “queen”, “quick”, etc.

---

8. Double the consonants f, t, l, and s at the end of a one-syllable word that has just one vowel.

✔ Example: staff (or stop → stopped, but for one syllable: stuff)
*Explanation:* One-syllable word with one vowel ending in f, t, l, s → double it. “Staff” ends in “ff” (double f), “stuff” ends in “ff”, “ball” ends in “ll”.

👉 *Best fit:* stuff (one syllable, one vowel ‘u’, ends in double ‘f’)

---

9. To spell the sound of /k/ at the end of a word, we use ck or k. Use ck after a short vowel.

✔ Example: back
*Explanation:* Short vowel + /k/ sound at end → use “ck”. “Back” has short ‘a’ + “ck”.

---

10. To spell the sound of /k/ after everything else, use a k.

✔ Example: bake (ends in ‘e’, so use ‘k’)
*Explanation:* After long vowel or consonant, use ‘k’. “Bake” ends in ‘e’, so “k” is used, not “ck”.

---

11. Capitalize names.

✔ Example: John
*Explanation:* Proper nouns like people’s names start with capital letters.

---

12. A, e, o, and u usually say their name at the end of a syllable.

✔ Example: me
*Explanation:* Vowels at the end of a syllable often make their “long” sound. “Me” → /mē/, ‘e’ says its name.

---

13. Words do not end in v or j. We add a silent e at the end of the word.

✔ Example: have (not “hav”)
*Explanation:* Words don’t end in ‘v’ → add silent ‘e’. “Have” ends in ‘e’, which is silent but allows the ‘v’ to be there.

---

14. Contractions replace letter(s) with an apostrophe to shorten a phrase.

✔ Example: don’t (do + not)
*Explanation:* Contractions like “don’t”, “can’t”, “I’m” use apostrophes to replace missing letters.

---

15. I and a may say /ī/ and /ā/ before two consonants.

✔ Example: find (‘i’ says /ī/ before ‘nd’)
*Explanation:* When ‘i’ or ‘a’ comes before two consonants, they often make their long sound. “Find” → /fīnd/, “past” → /pāst/.

---

16. /ī/ is spelled age after a short vowel.

✔ Example: cage
*Explanation:* The /ī/ sound after a short vowel is often spelled “age”. “Cage” = short ‘c’ + ‘a’ + ‘ge’ → /kāj/ (but wait — this is tricky!).

⚠️ Correction needed! This rule is likely meant to say:
> “The /ā/ sound is spelled ‘age’ after a short vowel.”

Because:
- “cage” → /kāj/ → long ‘a’ sound
- “page”, “rage”, “stage” → all have /ā/ sound after short consonant + vowel

So better example: cage

✔ Final Answer: cage
