Many words in English use the letters ur to spell the sound /er/. This sound is common in words like burden, occur, and turtle. In these words, the ur combination is pronounced like the er in her.
Here are two examples:
burden – The secret was a burden on Tim's mind.
occur – Dreams occur when you are asleep.
These words can be tricky because of the unusual spelling, so reviewing them will help you become more confident.

"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."
