The short /u/ sound is typically represented by the letter u. You can find this spelling in words such as under, umpire, and lunch. Understanding this spelling rule is essential for learning many English words.
Our collection of u words features everyday terms, like hungry and puppy, which illustrate how this sound functions in different contexts. Familiarising yourself with these examples will enhance your reading and writing skills.

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.
