Spelling Notes
English words never end with the letter 'u' (Rule 1). To follow this rule, the silent 'e' is added to the end of 'blu' to make 'blue'. The silent 'e' ensures the word doesn't break this important spelling rule.
Breaking words down into their syllables and analyzing why a word is spelled the way it is will drive you to be a better all-around speller, not just learning this single word. This is what strong spellers do subconsciously.
