The short /oo/ sound, as in book and push, can be spelled in different ways. While oo is the most common spelling, this sound also appears in words with u, like bull and cushion, or in words ending with ould, such as could and should.
These u and ould words don’t follow the usual short /oo/ pattern, so they are best learned through practice and repetition. Try spelling them out loud and using them a spelling game to reinforce your learning.
