Doubling Rule and Consonant Spelling

The video tutorial introduces the doubling rule, also known as the one-one-one rule, which applies to one-syllable words ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. The rule states that when adding a suffix starting with a vowel, the final consonant is doubled. Exceptions include words ending in W, X, or Y, where the consonant is never doubled. The tutorial provides examples and practice exercises to reinforce understanding.
