The “ou” sound is primarily found in Phase 5 phonics, where children learn new graphemes and alternative pronunciations for existing ones. While “ou” can be introduced as a digraph in Phase 3, its alternative pronunciations (like the one in “loud” versus “shoulder”) are a key focus of the expanded learning in Phase 5.
Phase 3: “ou” is introduced as a digraph, representing a specific sound, such as in the word “loud”.

Phase 5: This phase focuses on a broader understanding of graphemes, including the “ou” sound and its different pronunciations. For example:
“ou” as in cloud or sound: This is the sound taught in Phase 3.
“ou” as in shoulder or would: This is an alternative pronunciation learned in Phase 5.
