Short O Sound

This is the letter O. The sound that the short letter O makes is the same sound that you hear at the beginning of the word octopus and ostrich.
Follow along with the picture above. When you see the letter O have your child make the sound the letter represents. Then have them say the words octopus and ostrich. You should make the short sound as shown in the pictures. You do not want to make the long sound for beginners. That sound will come later. This is the beginning sound for reading. Every word in the English language has vowels. Therefore, it should be the vowel sounds that you learn first, because you will always see at least one of them.

Don't forget to review...

Once you have mastered this sound, try the short U sound.
You should always review the sounds you have already learned before you go to a new sound.
