Vowel Sounds vs. Vowel Names
Last week was an important week during our Literacy time, because we are learning more about the vowels/"sticky letters". Vowels are important letters! They stick words together... every word and syllable needs one... and they make more than one sound! This week we are learning the two sounds that each vowel makes. These are called short and long vowel sounds. However, we will refer to them as vowel name and vowel sound. Although they are technically both sounds, vowel name refers to the name of the letter /a/ and vowel sounds refers to the sound that that letter names /ah/.
We learned that "A can say /ah/ and A can say /a/".
We learned that "E can say /eh/ and E can say /e/".
etc.
This is more directed toward SKs, but so many of our JKs know their letters and sounds that this would be a great next step :)
