Session 1
In this session we look at words spelled with the letters ough. There are lots of them, and they're pronounced in many different ways! Can you guess how many?
Activity 3
Tough enough?
Listening and spelling
One of the difficult things about the English language is spelling. As you know, words aren't always spelled as they sound… Sorry about that. But we're here to help. Let's play a game to help you learn a few more –ough words.
To do
Listen to the list of words being read out. All you have to do is separate them into words that are spelled with ough, and those that aren’t. You might not know all the words, but we will give a list with definitions under the game.
Ready?
