About this test list: au - longer words

In these longer English words, the combination au is used to represent the /or/ sound at the start of a word. You can see this in examples like author, automatic, and audible. This particular spelling pattern helps distinguish other /or/ words with different spellings. Understanding the au rule is beneficial for both spelling and pronunciation, as it gives you a clearer idea of how to approach unfamiliar words. With regular practice, the au pattern will become a natural part of your language skills.

"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."
