Unit 6 summary

Short vowels e.g. e or ea? o or u?

In this unit, you have learned lots about spelling the short vowel sounds:

Think back - help with spelling rules
  • Most of the time, one letter is used to spell the short vowel sounds
  • For the short /a/ sound, use the letter a
  • For the short /e/ sound, we mostly use the letter e
  • For the short /e/ sound, we sometimes use the letters ea
  • For the short /i/ sound, we mostly use the letter i
  • For the short /i/ sound, we sometimes use the letter y. This mostly occurs if the word is Greek in origin
  • For the short /o/ sound, we mostly use the letter o
  • If the /o/ sound comes after the letter w or qu, we use the letter a
  • For the short /u/ sound, we mostly use the letter u
  • For the short /u/ sound, we sometimes use the letters ou.

The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
