About these handwriting worksheets: u-e words - set 1

The long /u/ sound in these words is spelled with the letters u-e, where the silent e changes the vowel sound. These words are short but cover a range of meanings and uses.

For instance, a cube is a 3D shape with six equal sides, making it a common term in geometry. A mule is a hybrid animal, bred from a horse and a donkey, often associated with hard work. The word use works as both a noun and a verb, while fume can refer to vapours or express strong emotions like anger.
This list provides an excellent introduction to the u-e spelling pattern.

"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."
