Are you looking for a phonics activity to help students consolidate diphthong ou and ow words?
In this fun problem-solving activity, students solve one clue at a time, with each answer changing only one sound from the word before it, working through a chain like round, found, sound, pound, hound, mound while reinforcing spelling patterns like ou and ow.
Two mat formats are included so you can match the level of support to each student: a blank version where students work out every word in the chain from the clues alone and a version with the first word already given to help them get started.
What's included:
10 coloured mats with no words provided
10 coloured mats with the first word given, guiding students through a matching word chain
Worksheets in black and white for both versions
