🔥OU and OW for the /ow/ sound can really trip kids up when they spell. Here's the pattern I teach my students. ✨OU usually spells /ow/ in the middle of a syllable, as in sound, mouse, proud. ✨ OW usually spells /ow/ at the end of a syllable, as in cow, now, how. BUT there's one important twist. ✨If the syllable ends in n or l, we usually use OW, as in howl, scowl, brown and down. Note that I used the word "usually" throughout! #phonicsforkids #firstgrade #spellinghelp | Sher Marshall

Here is a spelling rule with exceptions for the /ow/ sound. In the beginning of the word, /ow/ is spelled as ou with some exceptions like own, owl. At the end of the word, /ow/ sounds is spelled as ow like now, cow, how. There is no hard rule when sound is heard in the middle. If the word rhymes with down such as town, clown, frown, brown, drown, we use ow. It can be ou for words like loud, about, pout, pound, couch, bound, count.

Archita | phonics and grammar coach on Instagram: "📘 Rule: “ou” and “ow” say /aʊ/ as in “out” or “cow” ✅ Both “ou” and “ow” can make the /aʊ/ sound, like: • ou → out, shout, house, loud • ow → cow, now, down, flower 🧠 Think of it like this: “ow” likes to go at the end, “ou” stays in the middle of the friend 😄 ⸻ ❗ Exceptions (because English!): Some words break the rule, like: • owl, town, power – even though “ow” is in the middle, it still says /aʊ/. So it’s best to teach the rule with plenty
