Long Vowel Words

Long Vowel Words

Targeted word reading intervention. This page is for students who need extra practice with this skill. It is not meant for every third grader. Use it with small groups who need help decoding longer words.

A long vowel says its name. Students find vowel teams like ai, ee, oa and igh in longer words, then listen for the long vowel sound in compound and two-syllable words with vowel teams and silent e.

What's Inside
