Additionally, there are specific sections dedicated to word endings such as 'ant', 'ence', 'ancy', 'ent', 'ably', 'ibly', 'tion', 'sion', 'ssion', and 'cian', ensuring comprehensive coverage of common spelling patterns and exceptions. This resource serves as an excellent tool for both classroom and at-home practice, helping students to build confidence and skill in spelling ahead of their SATs.
