Tricky Words
The Boot and Foot Twins help children remember both sounds for oo. In this Unit the focus is on the / / sound in boot. Children may be familiar with these twins from the previous level of Step-by-Step. The first twin grabs his brother’s footwear and taunts him, “Oo, I have your boots!” Sometimes the second twin hides behind his brother so we only see one o, as in do, to, who, and prove, but the Boot Twin still taunts, “ !” (They will learn the other sound represented by oo in the next Unit.)

Here are the Boot and Foot Twins. (If children are familiar with these twins, let them tell what they know about them.) They are the twin grandsons of Mr. O. The first twin likes to grab his brother’s boots away. Then he teases his brother saying, “Oo, I have your boots!” Have children repeat the sentence several times in a teasing manner. You may want children to pair up, one in the role of the Boot Twin and the other as the Foot Twin. All the Boot Twins pretend to take the boots of their partner and tease their ‘brothers’ by saying, “Oo, I have your boots.” Then let them switch roles and repeat.
