I am so impressed with this program! My granddaughter has been learning beautifully–right up until a few weeks ago when we reach Lesson 12 in Level 2 (Syllable Division Rule for One Consonant Tile, Part 2) where you introduce the concept that *sometimes* a single consonant between two vowels actually goes with the first syllable, forming a closed syllable. My granddaughter (5 years, 10 months) and I are really enjoying the All About Reading program together. Activities to Teach Long Vowel SoundsĪre you interested in seeing how we teach the four long vowel patterns in All About Reading and All About Spelling? Here is a sampling for you to download and enjoy! Instead, teach these basic patterns to students incrementally, one at a time.
I would not recommend overwhelming a beginning student by teaching these spellings all at once. But I would only recommend using the chart for reference, or with an older student who has already mastered most of these phonograms. Seeing these spellings all gathered in one place is enlightening for those of us who are already proficient readers and spellers. The chart below illustrates the most common ways to spell the long vowel sounds. So there you go-the four basic patterns for spelling long vowel sounds! Let’s Dive in a Little Deeper In these words, I or O are long before two consonants: k ind, g old, ch ild.
In the word stroll, as in The emu went for a stroll, the letter O comes before two consonants and says its long vowel sound. I or O can be long when they come before two consonants.
