About these printable resources: ss words

At the end of a word, sometimes you need to double a consonant after a short vowel sound. This happens in spellings when the short vowel sound is followed by one of these letters: f, s, and l.

In the words in this list, the s has been doubled after the short vowel sound.

For example:

The word press includes a short /e/ sound and ends with an s sound. This means it needs to be spelt with a double s.

Miss contain a short /i/ sound before an s sound. This word also needs to be spelt with a double s.

The word fuss includes a short /i/ sound followed by an s sound. Again, this means the s needs to be doubled.
