Sounds

‘AU /AW’
have a huge crush on each other,
and whenever they have to stand ‘side-by-side’ in a word,
they get so embarrassed,
they always look down and say-
“ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

Examples: August, awful, awesome, autumn

‘EU / EW’
These letters are very “prim and proper” little girls who are deathly afraid of mice! If they ever see one, they will jump up-high, in complete disgust, screaming —
“eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
and that’s the sound they make!

Examples: few, chew, neutral, neuron 



‘ER /IR /UR’
They LOVE to go driving in cars,
but they are terrible, awful, horrible, ‘no-good’ drivers-
so they always have to slam on the brakes!
“ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

Examples: bird, turn, corner
‘TH’
These two letters should never be together- EVER!
And yet, pick up any book, and look at any page,
And there they are, side-by-side!
And whenever they are together in a word,
They always do exactly the same thing-
They ‘stick their tongues out at each other’ and say-
“Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Examples: this, that, those, them, they

‘OUS’
Whenever three friends play together,
one always seems to get ‘left-out.’
And when these three play-
it’s always ‘poor little o’ that never gets to join in the fun!
That’s why, when ‘o, u & s’ get together…
“It’s just…………… “US!”

Examples: ridiculous, strenuous, joyous
