To solve this word sort, we need to look at each word and decide if it uses the "ow" spelling or the "ou" spelling for the sound that rhymes with "cow."
Here is the step-by-step sorting:
1.
pouch: This word has
ou in it (p-
ou-ch).
2.
now: This word has
ow in it (n-
ow).
3.
found: This word has
ou in it (f-
ou-nd).
4.
chow: This word has
ow in it (ch-
ow).
5.
out: This word has
ou in it (
ou-t).
6.
about: This word has

ou-t).
7.
plow: This word has
ow in it (pl-
ow).
8.
round: This word has
ou in it (r-
ou-nd).
9.
how: This word has
ow in it (h-
ow).
10.
cow: This word has

ow).
11.
cloud: This word has

ou-d).
12.
