When you see qu, it often pairs with a short /a/ sound. This combination is common in words like quality and quarantine, illustrating how qu sets the stage for the following vowel sound. Understanding this pattern can help you spell many everyday words correctly.
Similarly, when squ is followed by a short /a/, it forms words like squat and squabble. This pattern shows how the squ sound effectively combines with short vowels, creating a range of vocabulary that you may encounter in your reading and writing.

One of the students has put in a huge amount of effort in completing Spellzone at least 3 times a week since his arrival with us in January. Looking at his scores after the latest GL testing, his standardised score has risen from 99 to 131. This is a truly phenomenal result. I just wanted to share the best result I have ever seen.
