The short /oo/ sound, as in book and push, can be spelled in different ways. While oo is the most common spelling, this sound also appears in words with u, like bull and cushion, or in words ending with ould, such as could and should.
These u and ould words don’t follow the usual short /oo/ pattern, so they are best learned through practice and repetition. Try spelling them out loud and using them a spelling game to reinforce your learning.

"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."
