Spelling - oo

This set of educational slides is designed to help children learn and practise spelling words with the 'oo' sound. The slides are colour-coded, with yellow slides intended for display on the whiteboard and white slides for printing, allowing for flexible use in the classroom or at home. The activities begin by discussing images of objects such as a tool, raccoon, and spoon, prompting children to identify the 'oo' sound. Teachers then sound out words with the 'oo' sound, and children blend and say them aloud, reinforcing their phonemic awareness.

Subsequent activities involve discussing which two letters create the 'oo' sound and showing children pictures alongside words to strengthen their visual association. Children are encouraged to read words with the 'oo' sound, add sound buttons (dots for single sounds and dashes for digraphs), and then self-correct their work. They engage in various exercises, including word-making challenges, labelling pictures, identifying hidden words, and completing sentences with missing 'oo' words. The lesson plan also includes a spelling caterpillar game and a spell check to assess learning. To conclude, there are reminders for homework and additional printable activities, such as bingo, challenge cards, and flashcards to further support their learning.
