If I am trying to spell a word I have not seen before, one of the most important clues I have is the sound of the word. The separate sounds that go together to form a word are called
vowels and consonantsEvery word contains at least one vowel sound. In English the vowels are:
| a | e | i | o | u |
The other letters are consonants:
| b | c | d | f | g | h | j | k | l | m | n | p | q | r | s | t | v | w | x | y | z |
If you would like help in identifying vowels and consonants,
try this exercise.
Count the vowels and consonants in each word.
Type your answer as a number e.g. 2
The first one has been done for you.
Skip this exercise and go to the next part of this unit: y as a vowel and a consonant. *

I have just finalised the progress of the year groups and am delighted to see that from December to June 53% of the 98 students using Spellzone have raised their standardised scores to 100 and above.
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.
