Remember, you can hear the short vowel sounds at the start of these words: |
Often, dictionaries will use a breve above the letter to mark the short vowels:
ă | ĕ | ĭ | ŏ | ŭ |
Mostly, we use one letter for a short vowel sound. This unit tells you more about words that need another letter.
The Spellzone interactive course is intended to be used online and may not be printed.
"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
Thank you!
