Description
Recognising the Short & Long ‘O’ Sounds
This fifth workbook in the Foundation Level teaches children to recognise and read words with the short and long ‘o’ sounds.
The workbook starts with a review of the short ‘o’ sound, followed by lessons that cover the long ‘o’ sound. The use of visual codes help children spot vowel changes and improve decoding.
What’s inside:
- Revision of the short ‘o’ sound to ensure mastery.
- Step-by-step introduction of the long ‘o’ sound.
- Dual Code Reading techniques in decoding and reading exercises.
- Decodable word lists and reading exercises to reinforce reading confidence.
- Short, easy-to-decode words are used in the Foundation Level before advancing to longer words in later levels.
- QR-coded tutorials & parent guidance videos.
- Visual Codes are used in the initial stages of a lesson and can be removed after a matter of days.
- Designed for primary school aged children who are learning to read (especially those who experience learning difficulties often associated with dyslexia or who simply learn in a different way).
With repeated exposure and structured practice, children learn to recognise long vowel patterns, preparing them for more advanced reading.
The Reading Switch takes the struggle out of learning to read by breaking it down into manageable steps—because every child deserves the chance to become a confident reader.
Perfect for parents, educators, and tutors supporting early readers.
