Seven pages on the two sounds of each vowel, short as in cat and long as in cake, where the vowel says its name. Children say each picture's name and sort the pictures by their vowel sound, circle the key picture whose vowel sounds the same (cat or cake, pig or kite), sort short a from long a and short i from long i, and color the pictures with a long vowel sound.
Teach one key picture pair for each vowel and keep it on the wall: cat and cake, bed and bee, pig and kite, dog and bone, bus and cube. Say a picture's name, then each key word, and ask which one sounds the same in the middle.
Say a word and ask your child whether the vowel says its name. "Kite: does the i say its name? Yes, it's long!"
Long and short vowel worksheets with pictures to say aloud, such as cat and cake, pig and kite, bus and cube. Children sort pictures by their vowel sound, circle the picture with the same vowel sound, and color the pictures with a long vowel.
