Soundswrite:
As with every lesson, let's start by recapping all the sounds we have learnt - please say the sounds along with the video as you normally would at school.
Say the sounds and read these words below.
Mow throw window wow now cow
Do you see how they have the same spelling ‘ow’ in them but they make different sounds? Just like Miss Broadhead did in Wednesay’s lesson can you write two headings in your books like this:
Ow: Ow:
Then can you sort the words under the correct headings according to what sound the ‘ow’ spelling makes?
