Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Are you ready to help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following some fun rules? Today, we’re going to learn a special spelling rule called the Zoss Rule. Let’s get started!
The Zoss Rule is all about one-syllable words. These are words that have just one beat, like “cat” or “dog.” Here’s the rule: If a one-syllable word has a short vowel sound like a, e, i, o, or u, and it ends with ‘z’, ‘f’, or ‘s’, we double the last consonant. For example: fuzz, fluff, doll, floss.
These words are one syllable, have a short vowel, and end with ‘z’, ‘f’, or ‘s’, so we double the last consonant. ZL is a fun way to help us remember the consonants we have to double at the end of one-syllable words: Z, F, L, and S.
Floss even follows the rule! Think of it this way: these short vowels are all alone; they don’t have any letter friends. So we follow the Zoss Rule and double the last consonant: jazz, cliff, cell, boss. Hooray! Now the short vowels have letter friends. Some words like “deal” and “shelf” already have letter friends, so they just need one consonant at the end.
The ZL rule is great, but there are some common exceptions like was, his, is, bus, chef, and a few more. But remember that most one-syllable words follow the ZL rule. The best way to remember the exceptions is to learn them by heart and practice reading a lot.
Okay, language warriors, let’s test your knowledge! Can you use the Zoss Rule to spell these words?
Fantastic! Farewell, fellow language warriors! May words be forever in your favor.

Word Hunt Adventure: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or items that have names following the Zoss Rule. For example, you might find a “glass” or a “puff.” Write down the words you find and see how many you can collect. Can you find at least five words that follow the rule? Share your list with a friend and see if they can find any different words!
Creative Story Time: Use your imagination to create a short story using as many Zoss Rule words as you can. Start with a sentence like “Once upon a time, there was a brave little jazz musician…” and see where your story takes you. Illustrate your story with drawings of the characters or scenes. Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot all the Zoss Rule words!
Sound Detective: Become a sound detective and listen carefully to the words people use around you. When you hear a one-syllable word, think about whether it follows the Zoss Rule. Does it have a short vowel and end with ‘z’, ‘f’, or ‘s’? If it does, say “Zoss Rule!” and explain why it fits. Keep track of how many words you find in a day. Can you find more than ten?

Welcome to Smile and Learn! I am Super Lexia, the guardian of spelling and grammar. Will you help me defeat spelling and grammar mistakes by following the rules? Today, we’re going to learn a spelling rule called Zoss Rule. Let’s go!
This rule talks about one-syllable words. Here it is: If in a one-syllable word we have a short vowel sound like a, e, i, o, or u, and the word ends with ‘z’, ‘f’, or ‘s’, we double the last consonant. For example: fuzz, fluff, doll, floss.

These words are one syllable, have a short vowel, and end with ‘z’, ‘f’, or ‘s’, so we double the last consonant. ZL is a fun way to help us remember the consonants we have to double at the end of one-syllable words: Z, F, L, and S.
Floss even follows the rule! Think of it this way: these short vowels are all alone; they don’t have any letter friends. So we follow Zoss Rule and double the last consonant: jazz, cliff, cell, boss. Hooray! Now the short vowels have letter friends. These vowels already have letter friends; they just need one consonant at the end: deal, shelf.
The ZL rule is great, but there are some common exceptions like was, his, is, bus, chef, and a few more. But remember that most one-syllable words follow the ZL rule. The best way to remember the exceptions is to learn them by heart and practice reading a lot.
Okay, citizens, now let’s test your knowledge! Can you use the Zoss Rule to spell these words?
– Hill: double the last consonant after the lonely short vowel.
– Great: double ‘s’ after the short vowel.
– Buzz: double ‘z’ at the end.
– Sniff: double ‘f’.
