Check your spelling accuracy with this interactive test.
Did you know that the letters ou can make the long /oo/ sound? While ou is often found in words with different pronunciations, in this list, it creates the same sound you hear in group, through, and youth.
This spelling isn’t as common as oo in words like moon or food, but learning to spot it will help you read and spell with confidence. Pay close attention to how these words are used in sentences, and click on each one to explore its meaning and pronunciation. The more you work with these words, the easier spelling will become!

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.
