Let's Review: Phonics
Ready to Read – Vowel teams
•
Show the flashcards for sweet, sheep, knee. Remind pupils that the vowel team 'ee' in English makes the
long sound /E/.
•
Show the flashcards for school, football. Remind pupils that the vowel team ‘oo’ makes two sounds:
long ‘oo’, as in the word: school, and short ‘oo’, as in the word: football.
•
Show the flashcards for boat, goal. Remind pupils that the letters 'oa’ make the long /O/ sound.
Ready to Read – ‘oar’ R-controlled
•
Show the flashcards for board, keyboard. Remind pupils that the letters ’oar’ make the /Or/ sound in
English. Explain in ‘oar’ the ‘oa’ combination represents the long / sound. The ‘r’ in ‘oar’ modifies the
vowel sound, but the ‘oa’ still makes the long /O/ sound.
