I'd love to read other nonsense stories, written to help with spelling.
No doubt your children could do better than these!
A Nonsense Story Using "ei" Words
Spelling Rule: Use "i" before "e" except after "c" and in words which have a vowel sound as in "neighbor" and "weigh."
The foreign heiress had to forfeit her reign at the height of her popularity, because of her conceited spirit. When she did, her people seized her veil, her weird counterfeit crown, and the receipt for all her royal freight. They carried everything away in their sleighs and received each other as neighbors. When she heard how they had deceived her, all her weight hit the ceiling and burst a blood vein! Neither of her eight children would help. Her husband wouldn't either. So ends this tragic story of conceit and deceit.
A Nonsense Story for Plurals
Spelling Rule: For "f" and "fe" words, usually drop the "f" or "fe" and add "ves," except in the following, add "s."
The giraffes climbed up the cliffs onto the roofs with handcuffs on their hoofs, of which we have many proofs. They were seen by chiefs and dwarfs. The chiefs have secret beliefs printed out about dwarfs in their safes. One is that when dwarfs die, the chiefs are all required to show their griefs by blowing their nose in their handkerchiefs!
