Notes:

I have noticed that some of these words have a contracted form using Sound 'Room' 'Broom' have a contracted form but 'Boot' does not seem to have. The preceeding consonant sound seems to determine this. LW

Sound Spelling: oo, o, ou, ough, ew,ui This is a long vowel. The lips are forward but flattish (as if to whistle), and there is a slight opening between them. The tongue is slightly raised from the floor of the mouth at the front and lifted slightly above the top edge of the bottom front teeth. The tongue is bunched in towards the midline. The sound resonates from the back and travels around the tongue towards the front.

-ew-

The -ew- combination is usually pronounced
