Word list description

In this word list, we will explore longer words that contain the double ff spelling. The same rules that apply to shorter words also extend to these longer examples.

When a word has the f sound following a short vowel, you should double the f. However, if the f sound is followed by a consonant, it should not be doubled.

For instance, in coffee, the f follows the short /o/ sound, so is doubled.

As you engage with these activities, pay close attention to how these rules work and practise using these words correctly in your writing.
