Spelling Notes
This word is a great example of how letter combinations create specific sounds. The 'ch' at the beginning makes a 'ch' sound, and the 'ch' at the end also makes a 'ch' sound. The 'ur' in the middle is a vowel team that creates the 'er' sound, as in 'fur' or 'burn'. By recognising these common letter patterns, you can confidently spell words like 'church'.
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.
