Re: long vowels
Posted by Wendy on 5/02/08

    I also love Words Their Way! I think it suggests reading
    manipulatives activities like word sorts, etc, but there are
    lots of different things you can do with reading manips.
    (Sometimes manips really help the struggling kids get it).

    There are commercial manips that have a special color-
    coded "magic" silent e that you snap onto the end of a word
    to change the short vowel's sound. Those are neat, but of
    course you can always make your own. Just use cardstock &
    make the color of the silent e card a different color than
    the other letter cards...Voila!

    I've also found that some kids can successfully use context
    to learn pronunciation/phonics as long as they don't let
    themselves get too intimidated by all the text. For example,
    you can have kids search through a simple book to find words
    that fit the C-V-C or C-V-C-e pattern and then sort them.
    (For the search, have them use a magnifier or word swatter
    to make it a little more fun). After they sort, have them
    practice pronouncing each word and self-checking by going
    back to the page of the story where the word was to see if
    the pronunciation makes sense when re-reading just that
    sentence.

    Good luck!
