Enhance learning with printable word list activities: wh - the question words.
Many common question words in English start with wh, like what, when, and where. While these words all begin with wh, they can be a little confusing because the letters don’t always make the sound you’d expect.
In words like what and where, the wh is pronounced as /w/. However, in words like who and whom, it sounds more like /h/.
This can trip you up at first, but once you learn these words, the different sounds will start to feel more familiar. Keep practising and soon you'll find them much easier to use!

"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."
