The ew spelling for the long /oo/ sound usually appears at the end of words, as in crew and jewel. It is often found in verbs, such as flew, threw, and chew.
Though the pronunciation of ew words is generally consistent, there are some words, like sew, the letter combination does not make the long /oo/ sound. Listening to these words carefully while learning to spell them will help reinforce this pattern. Click on the speaker icon to hear each word said aloud.
