Step 42. or

Have the pupil write in 'or' and read out loud each word.

For OR the mouth is not so wide‑open as for AR. Again, try to sound the r so that pour/pore does not sound like paw. If it is 'pouring with rain', the word 'pouring' does not sound the same as if a cat is "pawing a mouse" (with no r sound). (Try also soaring, sawing). Play the previous games. Use (or make) an "Is it?", s/ladders, bingo and pack of pairs cards for ar, or words.
