A few words break the normal rules. Most of these words are fairly recent imports into English from other languages. |
Some examples:
![]() |
![]() |
||||||||

|||||||||
![]() |
![]() |
There are two more ways of spelling the /k/ sound:
1. Words which came from ancient Greek use ch, for example:
Christmas | echo | chemistry |
You'll find more on these words in Unit 5.
2. Many French words use -que, for example:
antique | mosque | boutique |
You'll find more on these words in Unit 3.
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for our students! I'm sure Spellzone will be invaluable in helping them to improve their spellings and therefore improve the quality of their writing in all subject areas!"
