Before using this vowel sounds crossword activity, be forewarned that the pronunciation here is based on British English, and will be confusing for American English speakers. Learners focus on the /or/ sound, examining five spelling patterns that create this phoneme. They label three pictures with a word, each which uses a different pattern. Spellers find nine words with this sound  in a word search. Consider asking them to circle the phoneme in each of the words in the list (not on the puzzle).
