The long vowels are those you hear at the start of these words: |
Often, dictionaries will use a macron above the letter to mark the long vowels:
ā | ē | ī | ō | ū |
You can spell each long vowel sound in a number of ways.
This unit deals with the main ways of spelling each of these.
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."
