Spelling - o-e and oe

The educational slides provided are designed to help children learn and practise the 'o-e' and 'oe' sounds in words. The materials include interactive activities, which can be displayed on a whiteboard or printed for individual use if exercise books are not available. The exercises encourage children to identify the common sound in various words such as "bone," "home," and "stone" for the 'o-e' sound, and "hoe," "toe," and "mistletoe" for the 'oe' sound. Through sounding out and blending, the children are guided to say each word out loud, reinforcing their phonetic understanding.

Further activities involve the use of sound buttons, dots, and dashes to visually represent the phonetic components of each word, helping children to break down and understand the sounds that make up the words. They are also encouraged to create new words using the given sounds and to label pictures accordingly. A series of spelling challenges, including a caterpillar game and a spell check, are incorporated to test the children's ability to correctly spell words containing the 'o-e' and 'oe' sounds. These fun and engaging activities aim to build confidence and proficiency in spelling and phonics.
