In this fun, interactive, 5-day camp, the learners will practice reading and spelling CVCe words (ex. cake, huge). We will learn that "bossy E" makes the vowel shout its name, making the long vowel phonetic sound. Learners in this class should already know how to read CVC words (ex. cat, dad, hut). At the beginning of each class we will review the sounds of the long vowel sounds: A, E, I, O, U. Each day learners will focus on reading and spelling words with one of the long vowel sounds. On the last day of camp learners will have a chance to "Show What They Know" as we play games to review all the long vowel sounds we have practiced. Some games we will play are: Bossy e Tic Tac Toe, Bossy e Pictionary, Bossy e Match, Bossy e Scavenger Hunt. I will present using slides and each day we will review with 1 game.  Let's have fun with A, E, I, O, and yoU.

The material is covered over 5 days (one week):

Day 1: Long vowel A- (sample words: bake, race)
Day 2: Long vowel O- (sample words:cone, rode)
Day 3: Long vowel  I- (sample words: bike, rice)

 Let's have fun with A, E, I, O, and yoU.
