The oo Sounds

Investigate spelling patterns that make the /oo/ sound in this labeling instructional activity. Scholars read a brief introduction explaining the different vowel pairings that make the long /oo/ sound, along with word examples. Then, they write words with these patterns to label four images. Beneath each, spellers write a second word with the same pattern and sound. Remind them that this exemplifies rhyme. They do the same activity for the short /oo/ sound. Some of these images may be tough to translate to words.
