About This Spelling List: ur words

The ur spelling pattern is used to represent the /er/ sound in English, like in fur and nurse.

You can click on the speaker icon next to the ur words in this list to hear how the /er/ sound is pronounced. Use the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check spelling activity to learn how to say these ur words yourself.

In these words, the ur combination comes after a consonant and falls in the middle or at end of a word.

There are three other ways of spelling the /er/ sound so make sure you use the spelling activities to familiarise yourself with these examples of ur words. Soon you will develop a memory for which spelling to use for different words that contain the /er/ sound.
