Spelling Notes
The word 'choice' ends with a silent 'e' which makes the 'c' say its 's' sound, as per Rule 5c. Without the 'e', the 'c' would make a 'k' sound. The 'oi' makes a distinct sound, and the silent 'e' at the end changes the sound of the 'c'. Remember, the silent 'e' is there to soften the 'c' sound.
Breaking words down into their syllables and analyzing why a word is spelled the way it is will drive you to be a better all-around speller, not just learning this single word. This is what strong spellers do subconsciously.
