Short/Long E Sound!

This week we are looking at the vowel e and both the short and long sounds that it makes.

The short 'e' sound comes up in words like... 'wet', 'pet', 'forget', 'petrified', 'Ben' and 'exercise'.

The long 'e' sound comes up in words like... 'weeds', 'sweets', 'meet', 'bee', 'sea', 'beads', 'country' and 'sneaky'.

What is our sound THIS week?

Can you guess our sound of the week by watching the videos below??

Long 'O' Sound!

Our 'Sound of the Week' this week (and last week!) is the LONG 'o' sound!

What letters together make a long 'o' sound?
o-e as in rose
oa as in boat
ow as in snow
oe as in toe

And sometimes, all you need is the letter 'o'!

Challenge: Can you think of an 'o-e' word, an 'oa' word, an 'ow' word AND an 'oe' word?

Some videos about the 'long o' sound:





How many 'oa' words can you spot in THIS video?:
