Phonics
This week we will be practising the phoneme oo and oo.
Remember oo is a digraph (2 letters that make 1 sound) and they make two different sounds. The long sounding oo (as in boot and moon) and the short sounding oo (foot and cook).
Words to practise:
Long sounding oo Short sounding oo

Sentence for writing:
