It‟s tricky to remember
whether acceptable
ends in „able‟ or „ible‟
so just remember…
“Never stand up in a
restaurant. Always
accept a table!”
Kate‟s Top Tips!
Don‟t muddle up weather and
whether.
You need know whether or not you are
using the correct one. Have a look at
the next three ideas. Is one of them
helpful?

The first part is the same as the
word wear. Why not ask, “What shall I wear if the
weather is wet?”
The first two letters of weather are the first two
letters of the word wet - a word to do with weather.
You can make the word heat out of the word
weather, but not out of the word whether!

Well done! You have learnt
four sets of spellings! Can
you still remember them?
Your teacher will ask you
to colour in the notes if
you can.
Tim‟s top tips
If you are “committed” to
spelling committed you will
remember to double the m
and the t.
To spell the word “receipt” you need to
remember “i before e except after c”
The e in noticeable is very noticeable!
Without it the word would sound like
this…
no-tick-able!

Words like generally are adverbs.
To make an adverb we often add
“ly” to a root word. If the root
word already ends in l, the adverb
will now have two!
e.g. general
occasional
generally
occasionally
Izzie and Griff’s Top Tips
Fiery is tricky, since the letters are not in
the same order in the word, ‘fire’. Can
you think of a better mnemonic than this one?
Flaming inky eyes reach you
It may seem strange to see the two
words, ‘a lot’ in this book, but you would
be amazed by how many people write
them as one word! There are a lot!
