Make a cloud picture to put on the wall with blends you know. Choose a blend to put in a big middle cloud, like the picture. Think of 2 different words that start with that blend and write it in two other clouds. How many different blend cloud sets can you make? For a challenge you can also cut out different alphabet letters to make a word e.g. In the big cloud is the blend ‘fr’ and you can make the word frost with the letters ‘ost’.
I Spy and Read Game
Have a look at the pictures below. Can you match the words to the right picture.. If you have a magnifying glass at home you could use that to find the picture that matches the word.
Long Vowel Sound ‘oa’ and ‘o_e’
When we see a letter pattern of o_e, this turns the o into a long vowel sound and the e becomes silent. As we say, when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking, and this pattern is special because there is a consonant letter between the o and e.
o _ e
We typically see this pattern in words that are structured CVCV - C means consonant and V means vowel. For example the first word in the box is ‘bone’.
Have a go at reading these words, remember that the first vowel does the talking, and the e is silent
When we see a letter pattern of ‘oa’, these two letters next to each other make the sound of long o. Remember as we say, when two vowels go walking the first one does the talking.
Typically we see this vowel with consonant letters either side of the sound, __oa__, for example boat, road, float, groan,
Read the poem below, ‘The Note’. Find the words that have either the ‘oa’ pattern and the ‘o_e’ long o vowel pattern. Practice reading the words you have found
Draw a picture of your favourite part from the poem.
