Spelling - Home learning - Sound oe

For home learning focused on the sound 'oe', students are provided with differentiated spelling lists that include a variety of words to practice. The words 'toe', 'toes', 'oboe', 'goes', 'woe', 'oboes', 'foe', 'foes', 'hoe', and 'woes' are included in the lists with the challenge word being 'tiptoed'. To encourage further learning, blank boxes are available for adding any extra words that might be relevant for the children to learn. This approach allows for a tailored learning experience to suit individual needs.

The 'Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check' method is incorporated into the home learning activities to reinforce the spelling of each word. This technique involves looking at the word, saying it aloud, covering it, attempting to write it from memory, and then checking to see if it was spelled correctly. Additionally, 'Read and Match' exercises encourage students to associate the written word with its correct pronunciation. To further enhance understanding, students are prompted to pick a word from the list and write a sentence using it, which helps in contextualising the vocabulary. For a bit of fun and to test their discernment, there's also an activity that involves identifying real words from nonsense ones, such as 'floeb' and 'hoet', and using the real words in sentences, while 'popping' the nonsense words by marking them with a cross.
