The sound of “ou” in out, two sounds for “ow” and “th”
ou – “ou” in out – Make “ou” with your hands, then let the birds out. Can that seal really count to three? (Video 1)
ow – “ow” … /ow/, flowers; “ow” … show, blow
Make “ow” with your hands, then the “w” pinches the “o” which says, “Ow!” See the flowers as the bride and groom leave their wedding in a most unusual way.

Phonic Comic 2/20 – house, growl, loud, proud – Why is he so proud of his dog?
Stop the video whenever necessary for your child to work out a word before the answer is given. (A silent “e” is sometimes used to stick an “s” on a word, e.g. house, mouse, horse, cheese … At this stage only mention this if your child asks about it.) (Video 3)
Phonic Comic 2/21 – clown, show, blow, bow – Practise the two sounds of “ow”. (Video 4)
th – 2 sounds – /th/ (voiceless) and /th/ (voiced) – Stick your tongue out to say both of them.
/th/ (voiceless) – Blow away the seeds on the thistle as you say “thistle”. Can a seal really say thank.you?
/th/ (voiced) – Feel your throat vibrate as you say “there”. How far can the dolphin throw that ball? (Video 5)
