See if you can spell every word correctly in this Listen and Spell challenge.
This word list focuses on words that use the letter combinations augh or ough to spell the /or/ sound. These combinations may seem tricky at first, but they’re quite common in English and appear in a range of words, from describing a fraught situation to talking about a naughty child. Understanding how augh and ough work together to represent this sound will make it easier to identify and spell these words correctly. Take a look at the examples below to get started, then try a spelling game.
This word list was created by Spellzone. View more Spellzone course lists or curriculum word lists.

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.
