cloudy	stout	doubt	young	court
around	famous	route	ghoul	double

The vowel team of the week is 'ou'. This one deserves a whole week to itself because it can make so many different sounds, and there's so little consistency when determining how it should sound. 

For example, why don't 'four' and 'sour' rhyme? Why does 'you' pronounced the way it is, but 'your' is completely different?

It would be helpful to go over each of the different sounds that 'ou' can make, and sort the spelling words by the sound, rather than the spelling. We'll probably do that in class too.

Good luck!
