Which sheet to choose
Write the missing letters shows each picture’s word with the letters of its long vowel left out, as c_k_ for cake or b__t for boat, and the sheet’s twelve words in a box at the top to check the spelling against. Long or short vowel mixes six pictures of each and asks which each one has. Long a, e, i, o or u puts that vowel’s long pictures among others, half of them the same vowel short, such as hat beside cake, so the child listens rather than looks. Long vowels usually come in grade 1, after the short ones.
How a long vowel is spelled
A long vowel says its name: the a in cake, the ee in tree, the i in kite, the o in bone, the u in cube. It is often spelled with a silent e at the end of the word, as in cake, kite and bone, or with two vowels together, as in leaf, boat and glue, where the first says its name and the second is silent. The key gives each word whole.
