Explanation

The letters ow can say the long o, like in snow, yellow and rainbow. Say ow, ow, snow. (In cow and now, ow says a different sound. Today we learn the long o.) Caring for animals: animals have rights. They have the right to food, water and a safe shelter. Our duty is to be kind and never to hurt them.
