Consonant Sound /f/ spelled “ugh” Copyright © 2011 OnTrack Reading
1-syllable cough laugh rough tough trough *Indicates an uncommon spelling
2-syllable laugh ter tough en e nough
Other /f/ Spellings -lf- calf* half* -ffe- chau ffeur* gir affe* -pph- sa pphire*
Note: The ugh spelling is taught in the OnTrack Reading curriculum for the following reasons 1. If gh is taught as the /f/ sound instead, then the au in laugh must represent the /a/ sound, which would be an unusual spelling of /a/. 2. Similarly, if gh is the /f/ in cough, then the ou must represent the /o/ sound, which would introduce yet another sound for the digraph ou. 3. With rough, tough and enough, if gh is the /f/ sound, then the ou could stand for the /u/ sound, which would be a common sound for the digraph ou, but it also works to simply teach children to hear the /o/ sound for the letter o in these words when the ugh is taught as the /f/ sound. 4. Teaching ugh as /f/ at the end of a word (or chunk) avoids the confusion of teaching the digraph gh as /g/ in some words such as ghost or ghoul, and as /f/ in others.
