Why get the bundle
- Short o needs repeat in a few forms. The bundle gives cards, games and an assessment so children rehearse o and you see what's secure.
The problem
-og, -op, -ot: short o families with a round mouth shape
Short o is often mixed up with short u or read as 'ah'. A family approach gives children a steady frame to hear it.
O or u?
Dog and dug, cop and cup, and hot and hut look alike. Children swap vowels if they read quickly.
Accent drift
In some accents, short o sounds like /ah/. That can make it unclear whether the page is wrong or the child is.
Guessing from the picture
Cog, dog and bog invite picture guessing. Children say 'puppy' for dog unless they read every letter.
Only short o words, grouped by ending. Children see -og, -op and -ot over and over, so the open /o/ sound is steady.

Questions
Before you buy.
Why is short o tricky?
It sounds close to short u and to /ah/ in some accents. A steady set of rhyming words helps children listen.
Does my child need the individual families too?
Not necessarily. This covers the main short o endings together. The individual ones give deeper practice.
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 6 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.
