This booklet, aimed at adult basic education students, pinpoints and summarizes a few common spelling rules to help make spelling easier, and includes a component on using the dictionary. In the text, each rule is presented with many examples. Exercises follow each spelling rule, allowing students the opportunity to apply the rule to specific words. The following rules are covered: (1) "ie" and "ei" words; (2) doubling the final consonant; (3) final silent "e"; (4) words ending in "y" and "c"; (5) forming plurals; (6) words ending in the "ble" sound; and (7) words that sound and look alike. The spelling section of the booklet also contains a spelling pretest, a posttest, and a checklist. The dictionary component of the booklet explains the different types of information found in the dictionary, such as entry words, guide words, definitions, syllabication, pronunciation, accent marks, abbreviations, people and places, homographs, idioms, prefixes and suffixes, and other information. A dictionary competency test is included. (KC)
