Route (two pronunciations)
trout

Teaching all the spelling words with 'ough' is rough from a language therapist perspective. Especially since 'ou' is only suppose to say two sounds...as in...trout.....and ....soup. So when my mother showed me this article I was in full support.
If we do take out some of the pronunciations of the 'ough/ou' words I understand we will be taking out some of our cultural heritage from a language standpoint. But from a perspective of someone who struggles with spelling......I say bring out the pinata, music, and cake!
