Here are some of the vocabulary words that can be tricky to spell, along with some tips and suggestions:
prophet: Don't be tricked by this word's homophone -- profit -- which refers to excess money. Remember that our word, referring to a "spiritual messenger", includes a "PH", rather than an "F".
pillar: On today's crossword, several students misspelled this word by using "er" at the end. The word properly ends with "ar".
belief: Some people misspell this word as beleif. Remember this famous spelling rule "i before e, except after c; or when sounding as "A", as in neighbor and weigh."
mosque: A Muslim place of worship begins with an "M", and it ends with "que", a phoneme that is pronounced like a k.
BONUS HINT FOR TOMORROW'S QUIZ: Be careful about the spelling of one of Mr. Richmond's favorite words: ritual.
