Spelling words ending -ly and -ect

Listen carefully to the way people speak. Notice how they
often run one word into another or drop the end off a word
altogether. Ask someone to read this sentence aloud
a few times:
        "Sally popped down to the shops."
Listen particularly to "popped down". Did it sound like "popt"
or did they just miss out the -ed completely? Very often the
sound of a word isn't much help in telling you how to spell it.

1. Some endings can be heard clearly enough to help us spell
them. Here are two of them. Copy out the following words:
 

slowly		inspect
happily		project
normally		neglect
separately		recollect
positively		architect

If you make lists of words that have similar patterns you will soon become a better speller.   2.  Now memorize the focus words and test yourself on them.
