How to use it
- Say /o/ as in on before starting.
- Blend and write each word; draw a quick picture next to any word your child likes.
- Read the list back aloud.
- Note: in American speech short o sounds like "ah"; in British speech it's rounder. Either is right — use the accent your child hears every day.
Who it’s for
