Some more on: the /ŭ/ sound spelled with o as in oven |
 |
There is one rule to tell you when to
use o to spell the /ŭ/
sound: We never put u and v together - always use ov. |
|
||||||
The following are not rules but they are letter patterns which you often
see:
1. on words:
|
|||
2. oth words:
| other another mother brother smother |
 |
blood - When I cut my finger there was a lot of blood. flood - After a lot of rain, York is often flooded. |
Note:
In some parts of the UK these two vowel sounds sound almost the same:
 |
 |
| u as in umbrella | oo as in books |
For more on the oo words, please see Unit 13.
 |
Now test yourself in spelling the short /ŭ/ sound. |
"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
