This resource introduces students to the FLOSS Rule in phonics, which states that in one-syllable words with a short vowel that end in the letters f, l, s, or z, the final letter must be doubled. It includes various interactive activities such as "Spot the Difference," where students compare words, a clapping game to identify short vowel sounds, and a pattern hunt to spot double letters. The document provides examples and guided practice for writing sentences using the FLOSS Rule, along with sound-symbol matches for -ss and -zz sounds, helping students reinforce their understanding through auditory and visual cues. It emphasizes engagement through games and writing tasks to deepen comprehension of the rule.
