Please see videos in today’s folder for the introduction of the ‘oa’ sound.

Note, we start each lowercase letter at the base with a whoosh and finish with a flick.

o starts with a whoosh up to the top, back round, then a little flick from the top which joins to a.

Suggested practical activities:

• Making the letters o and a with play dough, repeating the sound ‘oa’

• Writing the letters o and a with chalk repeating the sound ‘oa’

• Rainbow write- writing the letters o and a repeatedly over each other with different colours saying ‘oa’ each time we finish.

• Making o and a by placing objects eg buttons in an o shape. Repeating the ‘oa’ sound each time they place an object.

Alternative activity:

• oa activity sheet with sound buttons
