This week, we’ve been learning about the different ways to write the ‘o’ sound. Because spelling in the English can be tricky, there’s lots of ways to write the ‘o’ sound in our spelling (oe, o, ow, oa). This week, we’d like you to practise the following words to help consolidate this learning. Remember, the words may appear ‘random’, but we are being exposed to different ways of writing similar sounds.

notice                                   suppose                                though                                  although

homeless                              hero                                      goes                                     glowing
