How do you spell remove?

Syllables: re - move

Tricky part: The vowel sound is spelt with o, though it sounds like 'oo'. Children write remuve or remoove, or forget the final e.

Watch out for: remuve, remoove, remov

Memory tip: In remove, a single o does the work of two: it says 'oo' all on its own.
