English - R controlled OR words and OO

Bossy R is back again and this time she's working on Os.  At the same time the kids are looking at OO words.  Gabi tells me they read a Read-Write Inc story in class called, 'The Poor Goose'.

OR
Here are three R controlled O activities from Starfall:

1. Make a Word
2. My Horse Glory interactive story
3. Picture Hunt

This quick phonics activity reviews AR and OR.

For more tactile learners, the printout (r_controlled_or.doc) on this page has word and picture cards

OO

Lovely Roy the Zebra has a straightforward OO reading game

This silhouette video is good for noticing the two different oo sounds.















Following that, the British Council's Good afternoon baboon activity helps the kids differentiate between long and short oo sounds.

Again for tactile learners, the printout (oo-oo_sort.doc) on this page has word and picture cards
