Description
These long vowels booklets provide targeted instruction for long vowels for your upper elementary students. These booklets use a variety of words (single-syllable and multisyllabic) to teach and provide practice for the long vowel phonics patterns. Students will, first, learn what makes a vowel long (the WHY behind the pattern) and will explore and practice the pattern through a mini-lesson, independent practice, and a partner game.
Each Booklet Has:
- A mini-lesson for the teacher that breaks down the rationale for the short vowels pattern, plus linguistic connections
- Pattern Rationale Example: A long a vowel sound is formed three ways: when there is an a_e, when there is a long a vowel team, and when the letter a is at the end of an open syllable.
- Linguistic Connection Example: Vowels are letters that represent sounds that do not block your airstream when you say them.
- I Do, We Do, You Do portion of the mini-lesson
- “Word Exploration” Activity
- Independent Practice
- “Mystery Word” Activity
- Mini Board Game
