This pack introduces children to words with the sounds au, as in August, author and fault, and aw, as in saw, paw and straw. Children need to become familiar with these common letter patterns because the same sound can be written in different ways. Learning to recognise au and aw will help children read these words more fluently and become more confident when they meet unfamiliar words. They will also be introduced to the spelling rule ‘i before e, except after c’ when the sound is ee, as in relieved and received, while learning some common exceptions like neighbour and their.
Children will read the short story Donalds, about Sam and Frank’s trip to a popular fast food chain with Uncle Frank. It includes lots of words containing au and aw, giving children plenty of opportunity to practise reading these words in context. Read the story several times to help your child become familiar with these words and how they are pronounced.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words with au and aw, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these endings and reading the words more easily.
The story is taken from the seventh book in our Learn To Read With Phonics reading scheme. We have split the book into separate resources for those looking for extra help in a particular area. To purchase the complete book, click here.
