This practice is related to assiduity in reading and, consequently, in writing, as both procedures enrich lexical capacity and improve writing competence.

Thus, the article that is now evidenced is intended to assist in this attempt, and therefore portrays about of the spelling related to the vowels "o" and "u", thus expressed under the following linguistic circumstances:


* The following words are spelled with "O":

bar, bar, backpack, stain, tenement, gizzard, mosquito, grief, kid, coughing, throat, swallowing, polenta, toilet, making fun, etc.
