Challenge your spelling skills with the Listen and Spell activity.
This list features a wide variety of words that all end with the long -o sound spelled with just the letter o. The words belong to different categories, from objects to actions to natural phenomena.
For instance, cargo refers to goods transported by ship, plane, or vehicle, while halo describes the glowing circle often depicted around angels. Words like tornado and volcano refer to dramatic forces of nature. Others, such as studio and memo, are everyday terms used in creative and professional contexts.
This mixed list is great for exploring the versatility of the -o ending.
