Can you spell all the words correctly? Words ending in -ic. Try this test!
There are two ways of spelling the /ik/ sound at the end of a word, but don’t worry: there’s a simple rule to help you remember which spelling pattern to use:
If a word has one syllable: use ick to spell the /ik/ sound at the end of a word. BUT if a word has two or more syllables, use ic to spell the /ik/ sound at the end of a word.
As the words in this list have more than one syllable, they use the -ic spelling.
-ic words are often nouns or adjectives. When they are adjectives, they are sometimes used to describe things that have the qualities or characteristics of a noun. For example, if something is scientific, it is associated with science.

"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."
