In English, the letter combination au often represents the /or/ sound when it falls at the beginning or in the middle of a word. Some common words with this pattern include launch, autumn, and fault. The au spelling is never used if the /or/ sound is at the end of a word.
Be cautious of similar sounds that have different spellings, such as all or call, as well as words that use the or, ore, and aw spelling patterns to spell the /or/ sound.
Regular use of the spelling activities and exposure to words spelt with the letters au will help you become a proficient speller.

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.
