This pack introduces children to words containing the sound ou, as in shout, bounce and loud, and ow, as in owner, bowl and throw. Children need to become familiar with these common letter patterns because the same sound can be written in different ways. Learning to recognise ou and ow will help children read these words more fluently and become more confident when they meet unfamiliar words.
Children will read the short story The Bouncy Castle, about Sam and Kim at Kelly’s birthday party. It includes lots of words containing ou and ow, 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. Afterwards, children are asked to make a list of all the words containing ou and ow in the story.
This pack is useful for children who are learning to read words with these sounds, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising the letter patterns and reading the words more easily and fluently.
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.
