Spell Words With 'oi', 'oy’ & Silent ‘ou’: Learn To Spell With Phonics (7-11 years) - Activity Pack (2)

The "Spell Words With 'oi', 'oy’ & Silent ‘ou’" activity pack, tailored for children aged 7 to 11, is a resource designed to teach the spelling of words containing the 'oi' and 'oy' sounds through the use of phonics. This engaging pack, created by Sally Jones and Amanda Jones, includes an array of exercises and challenges that make learning to spell these tricky sounds both fun and educational. The activities are centered around the theme "What Is That Noise?", which cleverly integrates the sounds 'oi' and 'oy' into a narrative about noises that can be both annoying and instructive.

Challenge Fourteen of the pack, for instance, presents a scenario where a character named Zoggy is trying to teach the 'oi' and 'oy' sounds. The challenge includes playful suggestions like playing with toys, spoiling a notebook with untidy writing, and boiling fish and oysters for soup, all incorporating the target sounds. The pack also addresses the frustration of constant noise, as exemplified by Troy the noisy neighbour, and asks students to consider strategies to cope with such disturbances. To reinforce the learning, the pack provides lists of words with 'oi' and 'oy' for reading and writing practice, as well as a 'Read Copy Cover & Spell' exercise to test the students' retention and spelling proficiency of these phonemes.
