When you hear /ow/ at the end of a word or syllable, use ow (cow, now, pow/er, show/er). When you hear /ow/ at the start of, or inside a word or syllable, use ou (ounce, house, loud). BUT: If the word rhymes with down (frown, clown, town) or owl (howl, towel, growl) we usually use ow.
What is OU sound in phonics?
/ow/ sound
The ‘ou’ sound in phonics makes an /ow/ sound (like in mouth). Be careful, this makes the same sound as the ‘ow’ digraph (like in cow or how). A great way to figure out if it is an ‘ou’ or ‘ow’ digraph in a word, is that ‘ou’ is in the middle of the word, and ‘ow’ comes at the end of a word!
