You are probably quite good at recognising sounds now but when the same sound is spelt in different ways, it causes all sorts of bother!

Lets look at some words that end in 'tion' or 'sion'. They don't sound at all like they look!

Station sounds like 'stayshun' and pension sounds like 'penshun'.

So 'tion' and 'sion' sound like 'shun'.

Many of these words are to do with feelings. Can you read them?

Try to match the words to these clues.
