Long and Short Vowels
Review long and short vowel sounds with
students. Say the vowel sound and then the word
:
a-make, e-tree, i-miles, o-rose,
u-cute, a-has, e-sell, i-lift, o-lots, u-but.
Say the sounds and words again and have
students repeat them after you.
Tell students:
I am going to say some words and you will indicate if the vowel
sound is long or short. If you think you hear a long vowel, hold up one finger.
If you think you hear a short vowel, hold up two fingers.
Say each word twice.
Write the words on the board and ask volunteers to read them aloud. Say the
word and have the class repeat them after you. Then tell students they are
going to practice reading the words aloud to a partner.

Finally, tell students:
You are going to hear some words, which you will write
on a sheet of paper.
Say the words at least twice and give students time to write
the word. Have volunteers write the words on the board and read it aloud.
