According to the Real Academia Española, b is the second letter of the Spanish alphabet and is called be. The v is the twenty-third letter of the Spanish alphabet and is called uve. The two have a similar sound that leads to committing innumerable spelling errors.

We must not forget that reading a lot is essential to learn to write well, that is why we remember again how important it is for our children to start with the habit of reading from a young age.

Tips to learn the spelling rules of B and V

We always insist on the idea that learning through games, tongue twisters, riddles, stories and poetry is more fun for children.

Experience tells us that it is difficult to know and memorize all the rules of spelling, especially when there are exceptions, so if we want to learn to write well, we must be very observant and have little tricks to help us remember the correct writing of words. I leave some trick that I hope you can help:

- Up, down, up and down are always written with b. Escribir - Write, and

all the verbs that end in bir , (perceive, conceive, succumb, etc.), are written with b,minus the verbs, boil, serve and live, which are written with v .- As we know, to write we use words, and words are the union of syllables, if we relate them together, it will be easier to remember that the three words (and their derivatives), writing, word and syllable are written with b .

- Have you noticed that

the seasons of the year are written with v ? Winter spring summer.- Do you know that all the numbers

, nine, nineteen, twenty nine, etc. Are they all with v?- And whatthe months of the year are written with b

? February, April, September, October, November, December. (November carries the v and b), because the words that contain the syllables, bra, bre, bri, bro, bru are always written with b. - There are words such as throwing or voting,that as written with v or b have different meaning por, that is why we must be very careful and pay attention to the context of the sentence to write them well. For example:

1. We went to vote at the polls, (give our vote to someone). Fu 2. We went to throw the ball, (throw the ball against a hard surface to jump). Then it would be wrong to say 'We went to the ballot box' or 'We went to vote the ball'. I remember the games 'Spelling' and 'The guardian of the B' and 'The guardian of the V' to continue practicing with the letters.A children's poetry to practice b and v

Children's poetry is always a great resource for children to learn while playing. I leave you one of my poems to continue working with the different rules of spelling of our protagonists today and I leave a phrase of

Santa Teresa de Jesus

to reflect: 'Read and drive, do not read and you will be led'.
