I love oo!

No, that's not a typo. I love "oo!" We recently took a short break from our short vowel sounds and jumped into double o's for a bit. And it was fun! We focused on long oo words first and it opened a whole new level of reading for Savanna. We did an OO Word Search, made an OO Book together, OO Worksheets, OO Vowel Diagraphs, and did some craft activities to practice this new sound. Some of the Simple long oo words we used in our book were:
moon
noon
soon
boom
tool
pool
cool
fool
roof
roots
room
hoots
too
zoo
boo

Also some more complex long oo words included:
school
kangaroo
baboon
bamboo
broom
achoo
blooms
scoop
spoon
bathroom
goofy
choose
balloon
bedroom

The oo is a fun new sound that your child will love and is a nice little break from the monotony of short vowel phonics :) It will also give her a confidence boost to see that she CAN read compound words and multi-syllable words!

Here is Savanna (5yrs) reading her OO book!

Bye for now,
