Thank you so much! I've actually wondered this before. (Then in our house, we named all our girls with names starting with K... whether it fit the spelling rule or not. Poor things!) ~Anne It does make sense. Thank you so much! I’ve actually wondered this before.

It will be very usefull indeed!!!. Also just thought I'd mention this tip with regards to rule 2 I.E " If a word begins with k Then the next letter will probably be e, i, y". The tip is this , if one has to spell a word that starts with C\K sound which both sound the same (right). Then you can know to use the K when spelling if you can hear the e, i, y sound in the word. How? Because using the C would actually cause the C with an e,i or y to make the S short sound. EG CEnt, CIrcle, CYcle. So the fact that you can hear the e,i,y sound tells you to spell with the K instead of the C. Hope that makesense! Thanks Again! Hi, Thanks alot for this . It will be very usefull indeed!!!.
