or saying er
Most of these words have the letters 'wor' saying 'wer', but not all.
Listen to the 'er' sound in these words.
Help the pupil to chunk words where necessary. Say the word and listen for the natural breaks. They often come after the vowel sound. Remember - each chunk of a word must contain a vowel - or a vowel sound (in the case for example of words with 'y' making a vowel sound.)

Dictation for Friday:
The farmer tried calling the cows, but it did not work. They would not move an inch. He tried shouting, but still they stood and stared at him. What action could he take? He had a plan. It was worth a try. He got a bag of food and waved it in front of them. Slowly, one by one, they started to move away from the line. The signalman reopened the track, and the people applauded the farmer. The farmer was very glad as it had been his worst day for a long time.
Teaching tip:
Talk about how to write reopened before the dictation is given.
