Summary Note "'Uncovering the logic of English' challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining explaining English spelling and answering questions like 'Why is there a silent final E in have, large, and house?' and 'Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?' With easy-to-read examples and anecdotes, this book describes: the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words; how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development; how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess." - Back cover.
