One way to spell the /or/ sound is using the letter combination or. You can spot this pattern in words like fork, short, and born. Click on the speaker icon next to each word in this list to hear how the /or/ sound is pronounced.
As there are three other common ways of spelling the /or/ sound, it is important to become familiar with words that use the or spelling pattern.
You can use the Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check spelling activity to help you do this and then take the Listen and Spell test or play one out our spelling games to confirm your knowledge. Keep up the hard work and you’ll master the /or/ spelling pattern in no time!

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.
