Activities
We are working with the vowels. We are hunting for vowels in every word. The children are learning when there are two vowels in a short word, the first vowel does all the talking and shouts out its name, and the second vowel goes to sleep. Long "a" is marked with the macron.
Long a as in ape
Long e as in eagle
Long i as in ice
Long o as in overalls
Long u as in unicorn or
Long u as in suit
When there is only one vowel in a short word, and it comes at the beginning or middle of the word, the vowel will have the short sound and is coded or marked with a breve.
