Spelling: ss versus ß
Spelling rules connect a word’s sound, structure and conventional written form. The correction preserves the form readers expect to recognize.
- Sound
- Do not rely on hearing alone Several letters or spellings can represent the same sound, and some letters are not pronounced clearly.
- Structure
- Look for the word family Prefixes, suffixes and related words often reveal letters that speech hides.
- Convention
- Learn the complete pattern Spacing, hyphens, accents and capitals are part of a word’s spelling, not decoration.
