Here’s a rule to share with your children early on in their reading lessons: "Whenever you see a word with ‘Q’, a ‘U’ is sure to follow" J Words with ‘QU’ are reasonably plentiful so it’s worth it to point out the rule and even do a word building exercise with a movable alphabet to give your child a visual.
This is a more advanced lesson and I’d suggest introducing it sometime when they’re in the long vowel sequence of lessons. Make sure you use words that start with ‘QU’ and words that have “QU’ within the word. Some words you can use include: queen, sequin, quest, request, and quake.
