The ou and ow sounds
In order to remember the sounds that ou and ow make, here is a story that kids enjoy.
There were
these two boys in my class one year and they were bullies. They would go
around hitting others and being unkind. They spent a lot of time in time
out. When one of the children was
hit, he/she
would say
"ow" as in
cow
or
"ou"
as in count
or
"ow"as in
row
We discuss
how the vowel combinations ow and ou can have both of these two sounds.
