SFLZ Spelling Rule
Phonics Rule: SFLZ Spelling Rule
If a word has:
• 1 syllable
• 1 short vowel
• Ends with s, l, f, or z
➡️ DOUBLE the final consonant!
Examples:
mess
wall
buff
buzz
This helps students spell correctly and read more smoothly.
Once students master this rule, spelling and reading become easier and more predictable.
This rule can be introduced as early as age 5 or 6, when students begin reading and spelling simple short vowel words.
