Why get the bundle
- Short o is easier to hold when children see it several ways. The bundle adds games and an assessment page so you can see if o and u still blur.
The problem
Cob, cod, cop: the short o that sounds like 'ah' in some homes
Short o varies by accent. Some children say it like 'ah', and others mix it with short u, so the sound needs a clear model.
O or u?
Short o and short u are close for many young ears. 'Cop' becomes 'cup' without careful listening.
Accent differences
In some regions short o sounds like /ah/. It's still the sound of o, but children can be confused when it differs from a.
Round mouth, round letter
Short o has an open round mouth. It helps to link the letter shape to the way the mouth looks.
Only short o words appear, like cob, cod and cop. Children get lots of repeats of /o/ in one place before it's compared with other vowels.

Questions
Before you buy.
My child says 'cup' for 'cop'. What do I do?
Slow the word, and look at the middle letter together. Pointing at the o and showing the open mouth helps.
Does accent matter?
A bit. Say the sound the way you do naturally, and be consistent. The goal is to connect the letter to a sound children hear.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 13 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
What if it isn’t right for us?
