About the word list: Some practice in consonant patterns

Understanding consonant patterns is crucial for improving your English spelling skills. Typically, a short vowel sound is followed by two consonants, while a long vowel sound is often followed by just one. This rule helps us identify and pronounce words accurately. For example, in words like better and later, the vowel sound influences the number of consonants that follow.

In this list, you’ll practise with a selection of words that illustrate these consonant patterns. From dinner to rocket, each example will help you recognise how vowels interact with consonants. Take your time to explore the words and you’ll build your confidence in spelling and pronunciation!

fatter The cat got fatter and fatter.
later I'll see you later.
better My spelling is getting much better.
peter Peter would like to come too.
dinner What did you have for dinner yesterday?
diner Jack stopped at the diner for a meal.

"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."
