Long Vowel Worksheet: Build Reading Confidence

Long vowels are tricky: ‘a’ can say /ă/ (apple) or /ā/ (acorn), sometimes with silent ‘e’, ‘ai’, or ‘ay’. This worksheet helps students:

• Grasp the Silent ‘e’ Rule: Magic ‘e’ makes the vowel say its name.
• Recognize Vowel Teams: Pairs like ‘ea’, ‘oa’, ‘ai’ make one sound.
• Build Reading Fluency: Smooth, automatic recognition of word patterns.
• Boost Spelling Skills: Understand patterns to spell correctly.

How to Use the Worksheet

Frame the activity with storytelling and guidance:

Step 1: Work Through It Together

• Tap out sounds and count letters to reinforce phonics rules.

Step 2: Adapt to Each Child

• Struggling Learner: Focus on one vowel sound at a time, highlight patterns.
