Page 7 of 11
 |
The letters u-e, ue and ew can be used to spell the long /u/ sound as we saw in Unit 7: |
 |
 |
 |
| u-e as in cube | ue as in statue | ew as in mew |
 |
The same letters can sometimes create the long oo sound: |
 |
 |
 |
||
| u-e as in ruler | ue as in blue | ew as in screw | ||
|
clue glue true |
blew* brew chew crew drew flew* grew Jew shrew threw* Andrew jewel jewellery |

"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."
