About these printable resources: Change f to v when adding s

In this list, we will explore an important spelling rule in English: when adding an s to words that end with a single f, we change the f to ve. This change is crucial for forming plurals correctly. Understanding this rule will help you improve your spelling skills and make your writing clearer.

For example, consider the word half. When we want to talk about two halves, we change the f to v to create halves. This pattern can be seen in other pairs of words, such as leaf and leaves, as well as loaf and loaves. Learning this spelling pattern will make it easier to use these words correctly in your writing.

"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."
