Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Contact Center Services 10 Self-Learning Module on Spelling!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

 LESSON

SPELLING
In this era of a technological culture where digital communication is most
commonly used, the use of correct spelling is important as well as in literacy. To
communicate quickly, people nowadays tend to take shortcuts in spelling the words
to be conveyed.

Let’s have the following examples:

“Nid ur rport in ppt @teotd. Pls. inc d add & d8s. Miting tom @ 8am. C u @ d
ofc.”

This message can be communicated formally by writing completely with the

correct spelling.

“I need your report in PowerPoint presentation format at the end of the day.
Please include the addresses and dates. There will be a meeting tomorrow at 8:00 am
in the office.”

The use of correct spelling is sometimes disregarded especially in sending SMS

or in personal or direct messages on different social media platforms such as
Facebook, Instagram and Tweeter. Nevertheless, in formal, business and academic
purposes, spelling should be considered seriously.

Below are the spelling rules needed to remember:

Spelling Rule No. 1: “I” Before “E”, Except After C

The letter “I” comes before “E” except after the letter “C” wherein “E” comes
before “I”.

Examples:

IE EI
chief receipt
field receive
grief ceiling
achieve conceive
believe deceive
Exceptions to the Rule:

EI NOT AFTER C IE AFTER C

beige ancient
eight fancies
vein concierge
foreign conscience
neighbor science
Spelling Rule No. 2: In case of one-syllable words in Consonant – Vowel –
Consonant (C-V-C) pattern, double the last letter before adding the “-ing”.

Examples:
run – running
stop – stopping
get – getting
drop – dropping
grab – grabbing

This rule also applies for two-syllable words wherein the second syllable is in
C-V-C Pattern.

Examples:
commit – committing
prefer – preferred

Spelling Rule No. 3: For words ending in silent “e”, you have to drop the “e”
before adding “-ing” or any other suffix that begins with a vowel.

Examples:
debate – debatable
desire – desirable
dine – dining

However, “e” should be retained if the suffix to be added begins with a

consonant.

Examples:
complete – completeness
waste – wasteful
whole – wholesome

Spelling Rule No. 4. Change “y” to “i” first before adding a suffix to words
ending in “y”.

Examples:
cry – cried
dry – dried
beauty + ful = beautiful
ready + ness = readiness
Spelling Rule No. 5. In adding “al” and “el” at the end of the words, remember
the following:

• “al” is usually used for adjectives, in some cases for nouns

Examples:
comic – comical
bride – bridal
globe – global
magic – magical
survive – survival

• “el” ending is mostly used for nouns and verbs

Examples:
enamel (noun)
towel (noun)
tunnel (noun)
cancel (verb)
expel (verb)

Spelling Rule No. 6. /ch/ sound comes in two spellings: (1) “-tch” used after a
short vowel and (2) “ch” on any other else.

• “-tch” after short vowels (a, e, i, o, u)

Examples:
match pitch
scratch botch
etch splotch
sketch butch
glitch clutch

• If “-ure” followed a “-ch” sound, use “t” for the “=ch” sound.

Examples:

feature
fortune

comprehend – compression

Spelling Rule No. 8. For the words with two vowels next to each other,
usually, the first vowel is long and of the same sound of the letter while the
second vowel is silent.
