The short vowels are those you hear at the start of these words: |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| alligator | elephant | insect | octopus | umbrella |
Dictionaries that show you how to pronounce words often use a small curly mark (called a 'breve') above the short vowels:
| ă | ĕ | ĭ | ŏ | ŭ |
Most of the time we use just one letter to spell the short vowel sounds. This unit shows you which words need another letter.

"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."
