Description
These Short Vowels Booklets provide targeted instruction for short vowels for your upper elementary students. This is NOT your typical CVC-style practice. These booklets use multisyllabic words to teach and provide practice for the short vowel phonic patterns. Students will learn what makes a vowel short (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: The short a vowel sound happens when the letter a is closed in by at least one consonant letter. This is called a closed 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
