When adding a suffix to a short word, or one whose last letter is stressed, look at the letter before the last letter. If the letter is a vowel, we usually double the last letter. For example: "stop" becomes "stopped."

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
