Know Your Pronunciations: words with 'wo'

In this worksheet, students revise the letters 'wo' in spellings. They also revise how they are pronounced in different words.

Worksheet Overview

The letter 'o' does not often make a short 'o' sound when it comes after 'w'.

 

It often sounds like the short 'oo' vowel (as in book).

 

wolf 

 

If the 'wo' is followed by 'r' it usually sounds like 'ur'.

 

worm

 

It makes other sounds, too, and in this worksheet you can investigate the different ways that 'wo' words are pronounced.
