Children will develop mastery of vowel/sound correspondence as they build hundreds of words with common vowel sounds and regular patterns. With the frame r_d, for example, they will see that simply changing the vowel will let them create red, rid, rod, ride, rode, rude, raid, read, and road. These engaging, hands-on lessons are guaranteed to give your students first-hand experience with the power of vowels, and they will begin to appreciate the tricky nature of vowels in our language.
