ou Phonics Anchor Charts

This 'ou' set of 2 phonics anchor charts is excellent for acquainting children with words in the 'ou' spelling family, for both reading and spelling development.

What is included in the pack?

One brightly coloured 'ou' phonic anchor chart which can be used as a word wall, or for teacher use

One black and white phonics anchor chart, which can be coloured by pupils

What do the worksheets involve?

The colour 'ou' anchor chart can be used as a word wall or as an aid to teaching the 'ou' digraph.

The black and white anchor chart can be coloured by the pupil. The act of colouring helps the family of 'ou' words to be fixed together as a group of words in the child's memory.

In addition, children can be encouraged to think of a story, using as many words on the 'ou' anchor chart as possible.

How to use the anchor charts

One of the great difficulties of learning digraphs, encountered by the middle and lower thirds of the class, is remembering which digraph to use for each word. For example, is it cake, or caik?

By linking words in the same family together, children can be helped to overcome this difficulty. This is how this phonics anchor chart can help.

Children will greatly enjoy colouring the non-clip art, realistic pictures.

Always encourage neat colouring, as this sets a standard for all work.

Who are the phonics anchor charts for?

• Young learners

• Those with a special need

• Due to their non-babyish nature, they can be successfully used with older ESL/EFL pupils.
