Lesson Twenty Three: ‘or’ as in fork and ‘aw’ as in paw
Revision: Read pages 11 and 38.
Note to tutor:
The story about “The Horse and the Dog” is a long story.
1. Let your child read it through first with minimal help from you (see 3 below).
2. Closely supervise your child when she/he underlines the words. Check that she/he is only underlining words where the ‘or’ does say ‘or’ as in fork.
For example you would not underline the words ‘world’ or ‘worked’ because the ‘or’ in these words does not say ‘or’ as in fork.
Working with this story does more than revise the ‘or’ and ‘aw’ sounds.
1. There is a lot of repetition in the story. Children like the rhythm and confidence of repetition, and it also gives the child the chance to add the repeated words to his/her reading vocabulary. Words such as world, asked, where, why, they, whispered and friends are words which should be easily recognised by your child by the end of this story.
3. It gives your child practise at sounding out words using some of the other digraphs and phonics she/he has been learning. This practise is invaluable because your child is learning the sounds in isolation so she/he can easily recognise them and read words which are made up with the sounds. (This is why it is SO important for your child to read extra books.) If your child does not easily recognise a digraph (or other sound) in a word eg farm, cover the ‘f’ and ‘m’ with your fingers and say, “What does ‘a-r’ together say?” Find it on the flash card if you have to. Then get your child to sound the word out, f-ar-m, farm. This may take time but it is time well spent. It is more beneficial for your child than telling him/her the word without any effort from him/her. If a word cannot be sounded out (a sight word), encourage your child to ‘guess’ what the word may be by looking at the sound it begins with and using the sense of the sentence and story.
4. Another exercise is to look at the speech marks. This has been suggested often during the course of these lessons and your child may be becoming proficient at where the speech marks should go.
5. After you and your child have been through the story encourage your child to read it as fluently as possible. The idea is to read fluently enough to be able to understand the story. This is why we read - to be informed and entertained.
6. Now would be a good time to look at the title of the story and point out that all the words have capital letters, except some small

words like ‘and’ and ‘the’. Go back to the stories on page 22, “A Boy Called Roy”, page 32,”The Big Green Gum Tree” and page 34 “The Yellow and Brown Owl” and look at the titles of these stories. Look at the titles on some story books and see how they are written.
You may find it beneficial to take more than one lesson to complete all of the activities with this story. It is important to cover all the points and to work at a comfortable pace for your child. You may take two, three or four days, as long as your child understands what he/she is doing as you go. Stay patient, helpful and positive. Give lots of encouragement and praise.  

The Horse and the Dog
Mr Shaw was a farmer.
He worked hard all day and one night he was very tired.
“I am so tired I am going to bed now,” he yawned.
He crawled into bed … and forgot to shut the gate.
“Mr Shaw has not shut the gate,” whispered the horse to the dog. “Let’s go for a walk in the morning.”
At dawn, the horse and the dog crept over the lawn, passed the porch and out of the farm gate.
“Which way will we go, left or right?” asked the dog.
“Let’s go right,” said the horse.
So off they went to see the world.
A hawk, who was sitting in the forked branch of a tree, saw them.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“To see the world,” said the horse.
“Can I come with you?” asked the hawk.
“Why not,” said the two friends.
So off they went to see the world.
A cow, with one horn missing, saw them.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“To see the world,” said the dog.
“Can I come with you?” asked the cow.
“Why not,” said the three friends.
So off they went to see the world.

A white rabbit, who had been sleeping under a thorn bush, saw them.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“To see the world,” said the hawk.
“Can I come with you?” asked the rabbit.
“Why not,” said the four friends.
So off they went to see the world.
A little fawn, who was munching on straw, saw them.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“To see the world,” said the rabbit.
“Can I come with you?” asked the fawn.
“Why not,” said the five friends.
So off they went to see the world.
The friends talked and walked all day.
They looked at the green grass on the hills.
They looked at the wild flowers in the bush.
They had a drink at the river.
They saw lots of other animals and birds.
“The world is a beautiful place, but I am tired now,” said the horse.
They all agreed it was time to go home.
No-one knew the way.
They were lost and it was nearly time for the sun to set.
The farmer, who had been looking for his horse and dog all day, saw them.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“We have been to see the world,” said the horse.
“It is beautiful, but please take us home,” said the dog.

The farmer smiled and led the way, back passed the river, the wildflowers and the grass.
The little fawn curled up next to her Mother and went to sleep. (zz zz zz)
The rabbit crawled underneath his thorn bush and went to sleep.(zz zz zz)
The cow was pleased to be home again. “Thanks for taking me to see the world,” she said sleepily, as she settled down for a good night’s sleep. (zz zz zz)
The hawk flew to the forked branch in his tree, put his head under his wing and went to sleep.(zz zz zz)
The horse and the dog were very tired by the time they got home. The kind farmer gave them some tea but before they could eat it all they were fast asleep.
(zzzz zzzz zzzz)
The farmer smiled. He was pleased he had found his missing animals …………. and …
he never forgot to shut the gate again.
