In this video, we explore short o words and learn how to find the missing letters using sound-by-sound spelling. We will listen to each sound, look at the letters the word already has, and figure out which letter completes the word.
We’ll practice blending sounds, breaking apart words, and spotting the short o sound—just like in words such as octopus and ox. Learners will discover how each sound matches a letter and build confidence in spelling simple CVC words.
Perfect for early readers, phonics lessons, homeschooling, and classroom practice!
Skills covered:
🔍 Identifying the short o sound (/o/)
🧩 Segmenting and blending CVC words
