The or Sound

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).
