Knowing all of your sounds is one of the most important parts of being able to read new words. Whenever we learn a new sound, we say the sound and a sentence called a 'ditty' that ends with that sound. e.g. air air, that's not fair.

Can you say all of the ditties for these sounds?

If you can't remember any, here they are:

ng ng, thing on a string

nk nk, I think I stink

ay ay, may I play

ee ee, what can I see

igh igh, fly high

ow ow, blow the snow

oo oo, poo at the zoo

oo oo, look at a book

or or, shut the door

ar ar, start the car

ir ir, whirl and twirl

oy oy, toy for a boy

ou ou, shout it out

air air, that's not fair

Can you pick a sound, say the ditty and read a word with that sound?

Carnivores - animals that only eat MEAT
