PHONICS ow, oi, ear

The phonics sounds ow, oi, and ear help children read tricky words by recognizing common sound patterns. The “ow” sound can say “ow” like in cow, how, and brown, which sounds like you’re hurt or surprised. Sometimes, ow can also say “oh” like in snow, but in this case, we’re focusing on the “ow” as in cow. Next, the “oi” sound is made when o and i come together, as in coin, boil, and point. It makes a bouncy sound like “oy!”, often in the middle of words. Finally, the “ear” sound is found in words like hear, fear, and near. It makes a long “ear” sound and usually appears in the middle or end of words. These sounds are fun to say and great for helping kids blend and read new words with confidence
