Sound Focus: ou as in short u.
Long vowels say the letter name and the short vowel say the letter sound.
Our Sound Focus for this week is ou. To be able to pronounce ou, you will need to say short u, as in the letter sound. Some of the words we went over were touch, courage etc…
This activity was very enjoyable because there were words that could’ve had different spellings like tough as tuff or touch as in tuch.
We’ve been learning about The Code. We’ve learnt, how ei as in long a or long e. Me and Bethany made a DLO about what we know about Sound Focus as ei in long a. Skein, Beige, Veil, Vein and Rein, all have ei in them and are long vowels. Long vowels are saying the letter name. And short vowels are saying the letter sound.
It was very fun because it’s really interesting to see that ei can make long a sounds or even long e sounds. I’m mind-blown!
This week we have been learning about the vowels and the “ei” sounds. Ei can make long /a/ sound and long /e/ sounds. Long vowels are saying the letter name, and the short vowel is saying the letter sound. We made a DLO of Nonsense Paragraphs, The words we used in our paragraph to make a nonsense sentence is Veil, Skein, Eight, Foreign, Reindeer, Leisure, Receipt, Receive, Beige, Reign, Abseil, Vein, Perceive, Ceiling and Receive.
I enjoyed this task because I liked how we challenged our partners to see who wrote it faster.
