What is a long vowel sound?

Long vowel sounds are vowels that are pronounced the same as their name. You’ll often hear teachers say that long vowels “say their name”.

Long vowels are very common but they can be tricky because there are so many spellings for each long vowel sound.

There are actually 4 ways to make long vowel sounds:

1. Vowels at the end of a syllable make the long sound. For example, in the words me and halo (ha-lo) the vowels are all at the end of a syllable so they make the long sound.
2. Silent e makes the previous vowel long. The words bike and phone have a silent e at the end that makes the previous vowel long.
3. Vowel teams can make the long sound. Vowel teams work together to make one sound, and usually, it’s a long vowel sound. For example, boat and meat both have vowel teams that make the long sound.
4. I or O can be long when they come before two consonants. In words like cold and mind, i and o make a long vowel sound.

Long Vowel Words

Long vowel sound words are words that have vowels that say their name. Below are a few examples:

• Long a – baby, cake, rain, day, they, weigh
• Long e – me, eve, hear, meet, piece, candy
• Long i – silent, bike, light, my
• Long o – go, home, toe, boat, snow
• Long u – music, mule, pew, feud

Long A Sound

The long a sound can be represented by 8 different spelling patterns:

1. a – baby
2. a_e – cake
3. ai – rain
4. ay – play
5. ei – reindeer
6. eigh – weight
7. ea – steak
8. ey – they

Tips for teaching the long vowel sounds

Teach one spelling pattern at a time!

I don’t mean one vowel sound, but just one spelling pattern. So for example, if you’re working on long a, you would work on the spelling pattern a silent e (cake, same, cave) until students have mastered it, then move on to ai, and so on. You should not be teaching multiple spelling patterns together, even though they make the same sound.

I know that most programs out there combine all the long vowel sound spelling patterns into one lesson, especially in spelling lists, but this does not work for struggling readers. You need to break it down for them and only do one at a time.

Teach the syllable types.

Because syllables have a lot to do with whether vowels make the short or long sound, if students do not already know the 6 syllable types then teach them along with the long vowel sound.

Here are resources for each syllable type:

• closed syllable
• open syllable
• final silent e syllable
• vowel team syllable
• r combination syllable
• consonant le syllable

Use a variety of activities to practice each spelling pattern.

Games, dictation, word sorts, memory or matching with flashcards, word hunts, textured writing, body spelling, and bingo are all fun ways to practice the long vowel sounds.

The main activity that is often overlooked is dictation. It seems so simple but the task involves listening to a word, deciding on the spelling, and transferring that info to written form. These are all skills that struggling readers need to practice.

Teach the spelling generalizations.

Some of the long vowel spelling patterns are spelling rules that make it easy to remember.

For example, ai is usually found at the beginning or middle of a syllable, and ay is usually found at the end of a syllable. [Examples: rain, aim, play, daytime]

Here is another example with long o: oa is usually found at the beginning or middle of a word, and ow is usually found at the end. [Examples: boat, coach, snow]

How To Teach The Long O Sound

Long O can be a tricky sound to teach because there are a few different ways to spell it. But I’m breaking down how you can easily teach this sound and all its spelling patterns.

Plus, I got you covered with my free Long O Words List. You can download the list pictured by signing up below. If you don’t see the signup form, click here.

Five Ways To Spell Long O

The long o sound can be represented by 5 different spelling patterns:

1. o – go
2. o_e – phone
3. oe – toe
4. oa – boat
5. ow – snow

Spelling Generalizations For Long O

O_E spelling pattern

The o silent e spelling pattern is the most common way to spell the long o sound so I would start here. Of course, students should be confident with the magic e syllable. These words are one syllable. Some examples of long o words with silent e are phone and joke.

Just O

In open syllables, the long o sound is represented by just the letter o by itself. They can be one syllable words but more often they are 2 syllables or more. Examples include go, total, and tomato. It often appears at the end of both short and long words.

Students must understand open and closed syllables to be able to apply this.

OA Vowel Team

The oa spelling of long o usually appears at the beginning or middle of a one syllable word. Examples include: oat, boat, and toast.

OW Vowel Team

The ow spelling of long o usually appears at the end of a one or less commonly two syllable word. Examples include: snow, tow, and window.

An exception to this is when the irregular past tense is formed with an n such as: grown and blown. The original word does follow the rule, we simply add the n to make it past tense.

OE Vowel Team

The oe spelling of long o usually appears at the end of a word. Examples include: foe and toe. This is the least common and can appear in compound words in the base word. I would teach these in a group since there are so few words and remind students that these are rare and are short one syllable words.

Tips For Teaching The Long O Sound

When you start teaching long o, you really have to focus on spelling generalizations, homophones, and homographs. Teach one spelling pattern at a time, and once one is mastered you can add in another. It’s much easier to learn how to read these than to learn how to spell. Since they all sound the same and can appear in the same place, choosing the right spelling pattern can be tricky.

Teach the process for deciding on the spelling pattern.

Once students are familiar with all the options for spelling long o and they know open syllables and the silent e syllable, you can teach them the process for determining the spelling pattern a word has.

When students come across a word with long o and they need to figure out which spelling pattern to choose, here are the questions they can ask:

1. Is there more than one syllable?
2. Is there a base word?
3. Where is the long o sound in the word?
4. Could this be one of those rare oe words?

Break the word into its syllables, and go through the questions.

From there, they can go through the most common options first. So that would be the o_e or just o, then the vowel teams.

If it’s a one syllable word, they need to choose between o_e, a vowel team, or the less common option of just o. Figure out where the long o sound is. If it’s at the beginning, try oa. If it’s at the end, try ow.

If it’s more than one syllable, check if it’s an open o, which in that case would be spelled as just o.

If there is a base word, focus on that part of the word.

This will take some practice so try using the checklist below (it’s available in my freebies library) to go through a set of words with your students a few times, then have them do some more on their own. This is the same process they will use with other long vowel sounds so it’s a great skill for them to have.

Also, because there are multiple options expect students to get them wrong sometimes, and tell them this! It’s ok if they make mistakes as long as it’s another valid spelling option and not something that doesn’t follow any rules. Through repeated exposure and practice they will eventually internalize the correct spelling pattern for words.

Long O Activities & Lesson Ideas

Picture cue cards – Create visual graphics of tricky words, homophones, and homographs. These picture cues really help students remember which pattern to use. I suggest you make these using flashcards and keep them in a baggie or box for reference. See an example below.

Sorting – Sorting is always a good idea when you have multiple options for spelling. You can play matching games like memory, just sort them into piles/columns, or create any game that requires sorting by spelling pattern. This builds phonemic awareness so it’s always a good activity for all students.

I include 3 different sorting activities for the long o sound in my Long O Worksheets & Activities set.

Phoneme Grapheme Mapping – This is a great activity that really isolates the phonograms for students to practice. You can get the Phonics & Spelling Through Grapheme Mapping book and follow the long o lesson, or use my word list to do the same activity using sound boxes. See below for an example.

SOS – If you don’t already know what Simultaneous Oral Spelling is, then check out this post here. I love this multisensory spelling method for practicing spelling. And you can do this whole class or one-on-one making it really easy to use in any setting.

Dictation – This is another fantastic activity but I would do this after you have spent some time on long o because it is harder for students. Also when dictating words, give students a clue about the spelling such as telling them it’s a vowel team or open syllable.

Games – Of course, I always include games because it’s just so easy to add a stack of flashcards to any game and make it educational! Use an easy to play board game where students need to pick up a card on their turn and add a task like reading the word aloud and sorting it, or asking another player to spell it, or even something as simple as having them air write the word after reading it aloud. Or print off a teacher-made game from my Long O Word Work along with several other games and activities.

Constant Review – Remember to keep these spelling patterns in constant review after they are learned, so they are not forgotten. Using a sound wall is a great way to do this without it taking any extra time.

Long examples with multiplication, addition, brackets + difficult problems. 2-3 cells

1. Forum
2. Archive
3. Child psychology and development

Good afternoon. Which solvers have long examples with multiplication, addition, brackets + complex problems. For example: 820-5*(81+4)+100-8+2*(3+4-1) etc. Tasks like: If you have 8 stamps, Vova has 5 times less, Katya has as many as Vova and if etc. In general, what can be solved in addition to Peterson, otherwise I bought solution books for the summer, so there are simple examples and tasks. The child is not interested. nine0011

problems for a patterned one.
Long examples are easier to type yourself.
What class?

B 3 go. I would like some kind of solution book, so that there is something like: lesson1 - and it contains an example, a task, a logic task, some kind of toy, something else, the child would be interested.

nothing in addition to Peterson, because there is no such author. Download.
automate the skill of counting long examples - simulators, such as Uzorova. nine0011

what is interesting about such examples?? WELL, take the Peteson textbook and speak from it, there are plenty of them. They still don't solve them all in a year)

There is nothing interesting in the examples, I want not only such examples, but diluted with toys. Peterson has already been decided, the child does not want the same thing.

oo, what are the differences between examples of long Peterson and other authors?
Take a textbook for grade 4, once for 2 and 3 you solved any author, even download your ancient one
Interesting, so solve logic puzzles and play games with a score

Buy Heidman's textbook, Nefedova, Uzorova have different collections, there is a series "How to learn to count quickly" there are a lot of different options. And for the future, the surname "Peterson" is not inclined in any way, I think you would not really like it if your surname was declined.

The majority of Russian female surnames are inclined anyway)) so it doesn't count.
Admit it, Lyudmila Georgievna, is that you? Or her cockroached admirer? nine0011

What do you want textbooks for? Ask Google questions, the Internet is full of examples, you can choose exactly what the child is interested in. Here, for example:
MAT-ZADACHI.RU is an excellent site, broken down by classes and topics. Copy to Word, add as you wish and print.
Do you want an online solver in English? https://www.ixl.com/
Petersonikha, by the way, is bad with non-standard problems, it is better to supplement her with collections of Olympiad problems, the same Heidman. Here, for example, is an excellent book: http://www.labirint.ru/books/127348/
Tasks - complete in Google, here, for example, the very first link on the request "text tasks grade 3 mathematics" http://static. my-shop.ru/product/pdf/50/493865.pdf

link good book .
But not at all about what the author asks in the first message.
I have one like this
There are neither long examples nor "Petya has two apples..."

the problem is that foreign surnames are NOT officially accepted in Russian, so technically the anonymous person is of course right, although it’s funny to read Peterson and Peterson in male form, they ate according to the rule then already Petersonova / ova ... but not Peterson, this is male then the surname turns out And it means that the person who teaches the child here according to Petersonikha, or Petersonova’s textbook, does not know who she is, he definitely didn’t read the name patronymic

Is this your first time on eve?
This family has long been incited here in every way
They stopped swearing 5-6 years ago

Yes, a book about something else, of course. I suggested looking for long examples on Google, and brought a book just in case, suddenly the author will take pity on the child and leave him behind for the summer with these stupid examples... Men's bows are excellent. And it is not the fault of the parents that, seeing "L.G. Peterson" on the textbook, they do not climb to find out who it is - aunt or uncle. What difference does it make, tea, not a breastfeeding guide ... Mathematics is generally a "male" science, so it’s quite natural to consider Peterson an uncle, in general ...

it’s strange that MoroVikha doesn’t get enough))
I’m not surprised that they persuade her, I’m used to it surprises me that there are always those who will start moralizing on this topic
These eternal grammatical proofreaders .. not a single top can do without them ..
