Description
Vowel sounds are key to decoding and encoding the English language. Students must perfect the most common vowel sounds to read and write words accurately. Ensure your struggling readers become striving readers by spending time learning basic vowel sounds in an age-appropriate way. This practice is perfect after a consonant review and before introducing the types of syllables.
We often assume that older students do not need such basic skills as vowel practice, but if you have worked with striving secondary readers, you know this is an area of weakness for nearly all of them!
This packet provides hands-on practice for working with active students who need just a bit more practice and clarification of vowel sounds before moving forward with multisyllabic words.
You receive 36 pages that include:
-
tips for teaching vowels to older students (Goodbye apple, elephant, igloo!)
-
activities appropriate for middle school striving readers (Think ACTIVE learning!)
-
student tracking sheet (Perfect for tracking who needs additional practice!)
-
5 vowel posters – each in color and grayscale; in letter size and tabloid (11″X17″) size! (Reduced letter size ones for notebook posters!)
-
40 vowel and picture cards, formatted to fit printable business cards for easy creation of a hands-on activity (Includes a vowel card for each vowel sound for easier game play, like memory!)
