✏️✨ GE and DGE Spelling Rule ✅ When do you use -GE? • Use -ge after a long vowel sound. • 👉 Examples: cage, huge, stage, rage, large • In these, the final “e” makes the vowel long. ✅ When do you use -DGE? • Use -dge after a short vowel sound. • 👉 Examples: badge, bridge, fudge, edge, judge ⸻ 🧠 Quick Tip for Kids: “After a short vowel, protect it with DGE. After a long vowel, just use GE!” ⸻ 🎓 Why? The extra D helps keep the vowel short. • Bad ➡️ badge (short A) • Rage (long A) #SpellingRules
