Ultimate Long Vowels Bundle

Are your little ones working on long vowels?  This bundle is filled with over 500 pages of engaging games and activities that they are sure to love.  Mastering long vowels takes a lot of practice.  There are so many different spelling patterns to learn.  This bundle focuses on most of the common long vowel spelling patterns.  It will give them a chance to really focus on decoding these words while supporting them with wonderful picture clues.  

Clip Cards

Clip cards are an easy, engaging reading activity.  Not only do they give you a chance to quickly assess a readers ability to decode correctly, but they also work on fine motor skills.  They are also great for your struggling readers, because they allow them to work on decoding without overwhelming them with an entire page of words.  I love how these can be a short and sweet warm up to guided reading groups, a literacy center, an early finisher activity, or an activity that is already prepped and ready for parent volunteers.  

Board Games

 

Kids love games!  Why not let them play while practicing long vowel words?  This bundle comes with 17 different board games.  Each one focuses on its own long vowel spelling pattern.   

Spot it & Dot it

Time to break out the mini erasers or paint dabbers.  This activity can be laminated and used over and over again with mini erasers.  Students search for the pictures of the words listed at the bottom.  Each sheet focuses on a specific long vowel spelling pattern.

Word Family Booklets

I absolutely love the benefits of working with word families.  They help students become familiar with common spelling patterns and this gives them to ability to use those chunks in decoding.  Rather than sounding each letter out individually.  Each long vowel comes with its own booklet of different word families.  You can fill it out by brainstorming as a class.  There is also a page at the back for students to use the words in a sentence.

Also included for each long vowel: 

Long Vowel Puzzles

For extra hands on learning, each vowel comes with a variety of picture to word puzzles.  For durability I recommend laminating these.  

Long vs. Short Vowel Picture Sort

I love using word and picture sorts for phonics practice.  These sorts help students identify and differentiate between long and short vowels.   They cut and paste the words into the correct column.  This also helps work on fine motor skills (added bonus).

Spy and Spell Whole Group Activity

This activity is similar to a read and write the room.  You hang the picture cards up around the room.  The students have to find the picture that matches their recording sheet and correctly write the word on the writing lines provided.  I love that this lets readers get up and out of their seat, as well as letting them move and write at their own pace. 

Unique Small Group Game

  Each vowel comes with a simple, and engaging small group game.  This game allows students to really focus on the spelling patterns and decode the words without the picture clues.  Each game comes with some silly rules to keep it entertaining for your little learners.  I love to use them for guided reading warm ups, fast finishers, or as an activity with parent volunteers.
