What is the Spelling about?
The Spelling above are a list of words, many of which are three-letter blends. The words are related to different actions such as cutting, shrinking, laughing, going through, washing, laying, braking, singing, playing, hanging, jumping, eating, feeling, growing, and fastening. The list includes both sentences and groups of words that are related to each other in some way.
