Spelling - Using '-ough'

Spelling homework this week is on using the -ough letter string in words. In class we spent a whole literacy lesson talking about the different sounds that this letter string can make:

-o - as in 'though'

                                      -oo - as in 'through'

-off - as in 'cough'

-uff - as in 'enough'

-or - as in 'thought'

-ow - as in 'bough'

By Friday 7th October, the whole class should have found at least 10 different words that contain the -ough letter string. These should be written down, neatly and correctly, in your spelling logs. It would be great if you could find some words that we didn't look at in class.

You can use your reading book to look for words... or your own books, magazines, newspapers, adverts. Just make sure that if you find a word, you copy it out correctly!
