What to notice when spelling these words
Listen through the short words
In arm, the letters ar work together before final m. Leg has a short e between l and g. In hand, listen for both consonants in the ending nd.
Compare the vowel spellings
Nose uses a final e to help spell its long o sound. The middle vowel sound in foot is written oo. Head sounds as though it has a short e, but its middle is written ea, while ears begins with ear. These letter pairs are useful parts to notice and remember.
