One reason English spelling is so complicated is because often different spelling patterns are used to spell the same sound. This is because, throughout history, English has borrowed words from other languages from all over the world.

One of the languages that English is heavily influenced by is French. The words in this list are all of French origin and they use the letters ch to spell the sh sound. If you are unsure of what sh sounds like, you can click on the speaker icon next to each word to help you.

"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."
