Spelling the long vowel sound /ū/: u-e, ue, ew

We have listed all the common spellings for ue and ew but there are too many u-e words for us to include them all. So, if in doubt, check with a dictionary.

How is the long u sound spelt in these words?

Remember, if it uses the split digraph u-e there will be a letter in between!

Work out which letters are missing.

Type the whole word:

Play me a t___ on your flute.
Why do you always arg___ with me?
Only a f___ friends are coming to the party.
That pretty little kitten is so c___.
The resc___ helicopter pulled him from the sea.
Another name for scent is perf___.
What is your exc___ for being late?
I wish I kn___ where I left my keys.
What is the val___ of this old watch?
My young neph___ is called Luke.
She is very mat___ for her age.
I hope you won't ref___ my request.

"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."
