Study the word list: qu words

What words come to mind when you think of the letter q? Perhaps you've seen it in words like queen or quick, but can you think of any words with the letter q followed by a letter other than u?

Probably not! This is because, in English spelling, q is almost always accompanied by a u. Though there are exceptions, these are usually proper nouns like Qatar and loanwords like qi.

When you see the letters qu together in a word, they create the /kw/ sound.

How quickly can you spell the words in this list? Find out in Against the Clock. Or why not try Bouncing Anagrams? You’ll need to be quick: the balls bounce faster with every word you spell correctly!

queen A reigning king or queen is a sovereign.
quick The artist was bored so she drew a quick doodle.
quack Quack is the sound a duck makes.
quad A quad bike has four wheels.
quarter We each had a quarter of the pizza.
quiet If the baby is asleep there is peace and quiet.

"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."
