Who is the Or video lesson for?

It is suitable for all ages and abilities, including those with special needs.

Lesson Format:

The lesson begins with training the child's ear to hear the new sound /or/ in words.

The child is then encouraged to finger trace the letters 'or' while saying /or/ and then to write the sound /or/.

Next, the pupil is led into and activity where s/he must see the /or/ sound in words.

This leads on into spelling words with /or/: short, torch, storm, thorn and finally horse with the silent 'e'.

Finally, the pupil is given three sentences to read containing words with the sounds /or/. The pupil is taught to firs track the sentences for known sounds - such as /or/ and then to read the passage.
