In English, the ue spelling pattern is often used to represent the long /u/ sound. This sound is commonly heard in words like blue, clue, and rescue.
When spelling the long /u/ sound with the ue pattern, remember that it is usually found at the end of a word after a consonant. For example, in the word cue, the consonant c is followed by the ue pattern.
It's important to be aware of this spelling pattern when encountering new words to avoid confusion. Test yourself on the examples in this word list to help you get used to how ue is often found at the end of a word.

"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."
