OW/OU Words

Our phonics focus this week was the ow/ou sound.


There are only two ways to spell this sound ou or ow.
Here are some rules.

If the OW sound comes in the middle of the word, it can be spelt ou or ow but most often it is ou.
OW - most often comes at the end of a word.
Before an n or l, it is usually OW eg.  down or howl.
Before an nd, it is usually OU, eg. round or found.

This week our poem was called Howie the Owl.  So today we completed some fantastic watercolour owl art.  Come in and check it out next week.




VH kids concentrated so hard on their owls.
