This pack introduces children to words with ou that sounds like u, as in jealous, cousin and country. These can be tricky for children to read because in these words the o is silent and you can only hear the u, making them different from words containing ou like plough, cloud and shout. Children need to become familiar with this different use of ou and learn how it is pronounced in different words.
Children will read the short story The Famous Cousin From the Country, about Sam’s visit to his ‘perfect’ cousin’s house. It includes lots of words in which ou sounds like u, 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 this sound, as well as children who need extra practice. Repeated reading will help children become more confident at recognising these letter patterns 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.
