Unit 36 summary

British / American spelling differences

Think back - help with spelling rules

This unit gave you an insight into some of the words that are spelled differently in American English dictionaries. Language is often seen as a powerful tool in terms of identity and it will come as no surprise that the move to distinguish American English from British English came when American won their independence. It serves as a reminder that history and language are ever intertwined.

This completes the Spellzone course. You can always return to any stage that you wish or revisit a unit that you are not sure about.

The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
