Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What sound does ure make in Year 1 phonics?

In Year 1 phonics, ure is often taught as a single sound made by three letters. It can sound like “yoo-uh” in some words, but it may sound different in longer words.

How can I help my child spell words with ure?

Say the word slowly, then split it into sounds. Write each sound in order, and look for the part that needs the ure spelling, then read the whole word back to check it.

Why do different spellings sometimes sound the same?

English has several ways to write similar sounds because words come from different languages and have changed over time. That is why children learn spellings as patterns, not just rules.
