| witch | Which is which? |
In most words the /w/ sound is simply spelled with the letter w. Some words need wh, however.
|
Say the words who, what, why and when aloud. |
Question words (see below) all need wh but other words will use wh too:
| whale | whack | white | whiff |
We have to learn the other words – there are no rules to help us!
 |
The Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check method can be one useful way to commit these spellings to our memories. |  |
Here are some of the more common wh words:
| ?? The 'question' words ?? | Other words |
| what
when where which whether why the 'who' words: who whom whose |
whale
wharf wheat wheel wheeze while whine whip whirl whisk whisker whisper whistle white |

"Thank goodness for Spellzone during this remote learning phase. The site is easy for students to navigate independently and they're really enjoying the activities and spelling games. You get an awful lot for your money with Spellzone. Really reassuring is the very prompt response with helpdesk queries. I've very rarely needed the helpdesk, but when I have, the issue has been addressed and sorted within a very short time."
