About the -og Word Family
Every -og word uses the short o sound, as in octopus. In this pack your child meets dog, log, fog and jog. When those feel easy, say other -og words aloud together: hog, bog, frog and clog. Ask your child which letter changes each time.
Say it together: “The dog sat on a log.” Point to each -og word as you say it.
