Sound Focus

Our sound focus for this week is the /o/ sound. Today, we brainstormed a list of words that fit the four sound pictures of the /o/ sound. These sound pictures (also known as spelling variations) are o, aw, a, and au. This list is NOT a spelling list: when we do our sound focus assessments, we will see these words mixed with other words.

Some suggested ways to practice this sound focus:
- Write a story full of /o/ words.
- Brainstorm words that rhyme with the words we thought of in class. Do they include the /o/ sound focus?
- Practice writing /o/ words with fun colors or handwriting.
- Illustrate 5 /o/ words.
