Note! Pages like this are read TO your child. There are five vowels, and each vowel can make different sounds listen: An alligator ate an awful apple. Every elephant eats eggs. It is ice. Oh, no, not more mops. Blue ug. 5
Part of learning how to read is learning the different sounds that vowels make. Let s start with this each vowel has a name, which is its long sound, and each vowel also makes a short sound. Say the name... Say the short sound... 6
We know that in three-letter words, the vowel usually makes its short sound at jet pot wig on a pig cup 7
We know that when you see two of the same vowel sitting together, the vowel calls out its name or makes a different sound feet moon ook 8
We know that when a vowel is all alone at the end of a very small word, it can call out its name hi me no 9
