It is tricky because the ‘ai’ digraph is making an ‘e’ sound in said (e.g. sed)

It is tricky because the ‘o’ is making it’s letter name instead of it’s letter sound. It is similar to tricky words: no and go

Parent Tips• Remind your child to ‘sound out the word’: “What sound can you hear first?” ,“How do you write that?”• Repeat this throughout the word: “What sound can you hear next? How do you write it?”• Ask your child which consonants are in the cluster at the start and the end of the word• Encourage them to hold their pencil properly and form letters correctly.

Apply Can you write a caption for the picture?

Remember to use:• Phonics to sound out words• Finger spaces between words• Correct letter formation• Capital letter and full stop
