Spanish phonics – the letter ‘o’
This Spanish scheme of work video introduces pupils to the ‘o’ sound, supporting their recognition and pronunciation of this vowel in spoken Spanish. The video demonstrates how the letter ‘o’ is always pronounced in the same way – a consistent feature of Spanish phonics – and encourages pupils to join in with clear examples and guided repetition.
Pupils explore how the ‘o’ sound appears in everyday Spanish words and are prompted to practise using mouth mechanics to ensure accurate articulation. The video emphasises the importance of shaping the lips into a small circle, like blowing out a candle, to make the correct ‘oo’ sound.
This video reinforces early reading, listening and speaking skills through systematic phonics practice.
