Phonics Time: Short Vowels

During this six week class, students will practice blending, spelling, and reading words with the short vowel sounds: a, e, i, o, and u. Students should know the letters of the alphabet and their sounds prior to taking this class. These classes are for students beginning to read and for students needing extra support. Each lesson will cover phonemic awareness, word work, and dictation for words with the short vowel sounds. The content will be presented using Google Slides. 

Students will need to write during class. They may use paper and pencil or use a dry erase board and marker. Students will also need letter tiles for each class. You do not need to buy anything. You can write the letters on sticky notes, note cards, or cut up a sheet of paper. Write one letter on each tile. I will attach an example in the welcome post. I will let you know before class what letters you will need for that class.

I try to make classes as interactive as possible. Students will give me thumbs up/down, shake their head yes/no, sky write, and tap the sounds in words. I encourage students to raise their hand or use the class signal card (available to print in the welcome post) to signal that they have a question. There will be times students will need to be muted. Please make sure that your learner knows how to unmute herself/himself. 

I will focus on one short vowel sound per week as well as review the sounds from previous weeks. Here is the schedule: 

Week One: short a 
Week Two: short e (review a)
Week Three: short i (review e and a)
Week Four: short o (review i, e, and a)
Week Five: short u (review o, i, e, and a)
Week Six: review week (a, e, i, o, u)
