Phonics fun





Today we explored the variety of sounds the letter "o" can make. We looked at "o" like No, "oa" like boat, "ow" like flow, "oe" like poem, "o" like not and "o" in a CVCe pattern (consonant, vowel, consonant and magic e).  We generated a list of the many "o" words we know and practiced reading a variety of them by rolling the dice and saying the word we landed on.   Student loved learning about how some words sound the same and are spelled differently and mean different things, homophones.
