Yes I can - Final L words are doubled (except appeal and parallel),
multi-syllable with non-final stress are not. Rules attached (can't
remember where from) along with a running dictation to provide some
examples and allow students to try to work out the rules for themselves.

help! Can anybody give a definitive explanation as to why 'travelling'
is double 'l' and 'visiting' isn't double 't'? Students want to know!
