Is it a 'u'?

The letter 'u' can often confuse you when you are spelling a word.
To help you to remember the spelling of such words, say them to yourself as they are spelt when you write them.

Sometimes an 'o' can sound like a 'u' e.g. 'oven' can sound like it should be spelt 'uven'	oven among come money government discover none
'u' often makes an indistinct, or unclear sound which can make it difficult to hear that it is in the word.	antique cheque business Saturday laugh aunt
