REVIEW:

Administer, ‘South Australia Spelling Test’. Compare data from Term 1 2015.
When a word ends in –ic, add –al before adding –ly, eg. magic, magically
If ‘full’ is added as a suffix, drop one ‘l’. Example: wonder + full = wonderful

If adding able to a word ending in ce or ge, retain these letters eg manage, manageable,
notice, noticeable

When a word has more than one syllable and the final syllable is accented or stressed, then the final consonant is doubled before adding a suffix, eg. forgot, forgotten; occur, occurred
