Guest Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Do you teach the short oo sound (book) and the long oo sound (moon) together or seperately over 2 days? Think this is what I am going to do when Ofsted are in but not sure whether to do them together or not. Please reply asap!!!!! Thanks!! Any fab ideas of how you taught it would be great too, but the Letters and Sounds dvd has given me some starters
Guest Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Hi, I teach them together because I use the JP actions and there is a joint action for oo and oo. purplemagic x
Lorna Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I teach them together. oo as in book oo as in moon We have a picture card showing the word and picture on one side and the phonic sound on the other, also use jolly phonic action.
apple Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 we do them together too for the Jolly Phonics. I've taught it throught the action and then got the children to sort objects/pictures with the sounds in e.g. book, hook, foot, soot, look, moon, spoon, broom, loop etc
Guest Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I introduce them both on the same day. Then focus on one (tends to be the long version) for the first day and do activities linked to it. Then next day look at short version the next day, recapping the long one and possibly a third day looking at both of them.
Guest Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 ...and for many of our children (and my dad, come to that), "book" and "look" are pronounced "bewk" and "lewk". Makes it all very interesting! Tracylu
