Reading practice for 'ow'
Let's play the yes/ no game. Get your child to have a go at reading the following questions and sort them in to yes or no!
Can an owl hoot?
Can batman go pow?
Is a cow pink?
Will six cows fit in a car?
Do you like to go into town?
Writing practice for 'ow'
Can your child write ow words into the phoneme frame? Notice how some of these ow words have only two sounds in them? Try to still provide 3 boxes and then talk about how the sounds. Count them with your child, thinking about how many sounds we can hear. Remember ow is a digraph - 2 letters that make one sounds.
Show your child the following picture. Ask them what they can see? Prompt them to talk about what they can see. Get your child to generate a sentence about the fox and the cow. Say it a few times to help them to remember it. Then ask them to write, using their knowledge of the sounds, finger spaces and a full stop at the end. Please encourage your child to be as independent as they can, then discuss it at the end.
Tricky word practice
Can you practice our tricky words with a rainbow write? Pick some of the tricky words that we have learnt and have a go at writing them in a rainbow. Use different colours and see how lovely your tricky word rainbow looks .

Can you take a picture of the word with your magic camera? Then can you write it?
Look at the word - it has 4 letters, 4 short. Say the letters that you need for the word.

Reading activity for 'oi'
In reception we play a game called 'treasure chest'. If you read a word and it is a real word, it is treasure. If you read a word and it is an 'alien' word ( a nonsense word that is silly and made up with three sounds) it goes in the bin. Have a go at the treasure chest game. Write the oi words above onto pieces of paper and fold them up. Write these alien words onto paper and fold them up. The children blend them and decide where they go. A super practice at blending.

You might want to draw a treasure chest and a rubbish bin for your child to sort their words into.
