• The word work activity focuses on words that have the long /o/ and bossy /e/ vowel sound. Look at the picture. Say the word. Can you spell the word? Do you hear the long /o/ bossy /e/ vowel sound or the short /o/ vowel. Pick two words and write a sentence for each one. Make sure to add good details and begin and end your sentence the right way.
