What do they know about double consonants? ff, ll, ss, dd, tt, zz
Each double consonant sounds like one letter.
What do these words have in common? smell, buzz, sniff, kindness, gruff
Each word has one syllable with the short vowel sound.
Also, the last two letters in every word are doubled.
Wait, what about words like bus and gas?
There are always rules which are broken!
Remember the "Floss Rule" when
reading and writing!
The letters f, l, and s are the most common
letters that double at the end of words.
