Frequently Asked Questions

Common Q words: queen, quilt, quiet, question, quack, and quick. In English, Q is almost always followed by U and makes the /kw/ sound: queen, quick, quarter, quiz. The QU combination is so consistent that it is typically taught as a unit rather than as two separate letters.

In English, Q without U is extremely rare (only in borrowed words like "qi" or proper nouns like "Iraq"). The QU combination evolved from Latin and Old French where "qu" was a standard spelling unit for the /kw/ sound. Teaching children that "Q and U are best friends and always go together" is a reliable phonics shortcut that simplifies early spelling.
