How to teach short o (cvc)
Short o is the vowel that varies most between accents, so let children say the word the way they say it and check it against the picture or the sentence. The words here are mostly three-letter CVC words, plus on and off, two small words a child meets in everyday sentences very soon.
Open your mouth and say /o/ as in octopus. Because the sound is made with the jaw dropped, put a hand under your chin and feel it drop on every short o word.
