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:

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.
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.
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.
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:

a – baby
a_e – cake
ai – rain
ay – play
ei – reindeer
eigh – weight
ea – steak
ey – they

u – music
u_e – mule
ue – rescue
eu – feud
ew – few

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]

Long A Words for Kindergarteners

Learning vowel sounds can be rough on kids.

They might look like simple, single letters, but these five (sometimes six) little letters can make multiple sounds and do so in multiple ways.

The English language is known for its quirky rules that don’t always make a whole lot of sense and the many exceptions to those rules that you’ll encounter.

It can be confusing enough to rattle the brain of a fully grown adult, but for a kindergartner that’s just learning to read, it can be even worse.

I try to keep this in mind when we first start learning to read.

We start with the short vowel sounds as those are typically what are seen most often in regular day to day reading, and those are usually picked up pretty quickly.

But once we move onto the long vowel sounds, we slow way down.

You’ll find far more rules and ways to make these sounds and a few new exceptions to the rules as well.

Today, we’re going to focus on that long A sound and the long A words that your kindergartener will be able to read and spell with it.

Now, like I said before, we typically start learning vowel sounds by covering the short vowel sounds first as these are much more common and give kids the opportunity to immediately start reading short CVC words, but moving onto those long vowel sounds is also really exciting.

Learning these long sounds gives your kindergarteners the ability to really expand the list of words that they’ll then be able to read and spell.

You just have to learn those rules that I talked about earlier.

Ways to Make the Long A Sound

When learning to identify those long A words, your kindergartener should understand that there are a few different way to make them.

The Magic Silent E

This is an easy one to spot and kids always love spotting that magic silent E!

These are VCe or a_e words where the A and the E are separated by a consonant and the E is the last letter in the word. With this combination the E sits silently at the end of the word while making the previous vowel say its name.

Words like ace, cake, fame, and gate are all magic E words.

The Vowel Team AI

There’s an old saying that I learned in school that makes these vowel team rules super simple to remember: when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.

So, when you see this particular vowel team, ai, the A will make that long A sound and say its name while the I will remain silent.

Examples of the long A words containing the ai vowel team include maid, train, paid, and faint.

The Vowel Team AY

This vowel team works exactly the same as the other when it comes to those long A words.

The A does the talking while the Y stays silent.

You’ll see this vowel team in words like ray, pay, away, and spray.

The Open Syllable

Open syllables occur when a vowel is at the end of a syllable.

Alternatively, syllables that end in consonants are considered closed.

When the letter A is found at the end of a syllable, this produces that long A vowel sound.

You’ll find this in long A words like April, radio, cater, and table.

The Irregular Vowel Team EI

Like I said earlier, there are always exceptions to the rules.

The vowel teams rules would tell us that when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking, but the ei vowel team is the exception.

This team makes that long A sound and can be found in words like eight, vein, neighbor, and reign.

Knowing these five ways to make the long A sound will make it exponentially easier for your kindergarteners to identify them, but it can also be helpful to know the various spellings that they might see.

Spelling Long A Words

There are eight different spelling patterns that can create the long A sound.

a (halo)
a_e (make)
ai (bait)
ay (day)
ei (vein)
eigh (sleigh)
ea (break)
ey (they)

Now, while it’s important to know the rules, exceptions, and spelling patterns for those long A words, it’s far more important to get in some good old fashioned vowel practice with a list of different long A words.

By no means is this an exhaustive list, but it definitely gives you and your kindergarteners a solid place to start.

With time and a little bit of practice, they’ll soon be able to identify the rule that makes each of these long A words as well as be able to spot other long A words in their day to day reading.

Physical education minutes

Physical education minutes

Physical education minutes are short-term physical exercises carried out to prevent fatigue, restore mental performance (excite areas of the cerebral cortex that were not involved in previous activities, and give rest to those who worked).
Meaning: improve blood circulation, relieve muscle and nervous system fatigue, activate children's thinking, create positive emotions and increase interest in classes.
Duration: 1.5-2 minutes; It is recommended to carry out, starting with the middle group. They are carried out at a time when children's attention decreases and fatigue sets in. The guys perform physical exercises when they go to a free place (sipping, bending, moving their arms up and down, half-crouching, bouncing, walking).
“Physical minutes may be accompanied by text related or not related to the content of the lesson. When pronouncing the text by children, it is necessary to ensure that the exhalation is performed when pronouncing the words of this line, and before the beginning of the next one - a deep and calm exhalation, then after a physical minute the child's breathing remains calm and rhythmic. Physical education sessions with musical accompaniment are interesting and emotional. Children can perform several types of dance steps to music or sing 1-2 verses of a song, accompanying them with improvised movements (circling, bending, squatting, etc.).

And now we are with you, children
And now we are with you, children,
We are flying away on a rocket.
Get up on your toes,
And then your hands down.

Sometimes they suddenly fall behind. (Slowing down the pace of walking.)
And sometimes they are in a hurry,
As if they want to run away! (Running in place. )
If they are not turned on,
Then they completely get up. (Children stop.)

We stretch our legs and arms,
We know for sure that it will be useful. (Squats, clapping hands above the head.)
Turning and turning the head,

Physical education minute. Funny geese
(Musical physical education minute)
(Children sing and perform different movements after the teacher.)

Two merry geese:
One gray,
Another white,
Two merry geese.
They stretched their necks -

One grey, the other white,
Which one is longer!

On the toes, hop-hop-hop. (Jumping.)
And then squatting, So that the paws do not freeze.

Bunny
Gray Bunny washing his face,
Apparently, he is going to visit.
Washed the tail, washed the ear,
wiped it dry. (Children imitate washing movements)

Bunny
Come on, Bunny, jump, jump,
Tap, tap, tap.
You fall on the grass, fall,
Lie down and rest, rest.
Rested, now get up,
Start jumping again!
Run quickly to the Christmas tree
And quickly jump back. (Children jump on two legs, arms folded to their chest, imitating the movements of bunnies. Then they squat down and rest. They get up and jump again. At the command of the teacher, they run quickly to the “Christmas tree” (the place is chosen by the teacher), and then scatter in places and sit down into place.)

Bunnies
Gray bunnies sitting, (Sit down.)
Long ears stick out. (Show ears with hands.)
Here are our ears,
Here are our ears;
Ears on top.
Here is a fox running, (Running in place.)
Sly little sister.
Hide, hide, (Sit down. )
Jumping Bunnies.
Bunnies scattered across the forest clearing. (Jumping in place.)
These are the bunnies,
Jumping bunnies.

Bunnies
(“Little bunnies” jumped out. They pressed their paws to their chest. They have fun, they jump.)
A gray bunny sits
And moves its ears. (Children show.)
It's cold for the bunny to sit,
We need to warm the paws, (Children show.)
One or two, we need to warm the paws.
Bunny is cold to stand,
Bunny needs to jump. (Children jump.)
Someone scared the bunny -
Bunny - jumped - and ran away. (Children sit down.)

Hares
They took the hare by the sides,
They danced the hopak.
Ducks flew in,
They played pipes.
Ah, what a beauty,
They played pipes. (Children dance with their hands on their belts, imitate playing the pipe.)

Sounds
Children are divided into groups in rows. Each of the groups imitates the sounds of familiar birds or animals. For example:
1 - geese (Ga-ha-ha.)
2 - pigeons (Gulya-guly-guly.)
3 - donkeys (Igo-go.)
4 - dogs (Bow-bow.)
Teacher, passing past the child, knocks on the back of the chair and asks: “Who lives in this house?” (Children answer.) Then he says: “Geese, get up! Stretch the necks and twist them three times. (Geese get up.)

Looking for strawberries
We walked, walked, walked,
We found strawberries.
One, and two, and three, and four, and five,
We start looking again.
(Hands on the belt, feet shoulder-width apart. Bending down, touch the tips of the fingers of the right foot with the left hand, the right hand remains on the belt - exhale. Straighten up - inhale. We collect strawberries. Now the berry is at the left foot - we quickly collect it. We will have to bend over again .)

On the lawn in the morning
We started a game.
You are Chamomile, I am bindweed,
Stand in our wreath. (Children stand in a circle.)
One, two, three, four,
Move the circle wider.
And now we are streams,
Let's run a race. (Running in a circle.)
We hurry straight to the lake,
The lake will become big.
One, two, three, four,
Move the circle wider.
Get in the circle again,
Let's play Sunshine.
We are cheerful rays.
We are frisky and hot.
One, two, three, four,
Make the circle wider!

Like a typewriter
Like a typewriter
Two pretty pigs
Knock-knock-knock-knock!
Knock-knock-knock-knock!
And tapping,
And grunting:
Grunt-grunt-grunt-grunt!
Grunt-grunt-grunt-grunt!
(The recitation of the poem is accompanied by light movements of the hands. The hand quickly bounces off the imaginary typewriter along with the sound on the stressed vowels. At first the pace of speech is not fast, then it gets faster. Children “type on the typewriter” more and more quickly, depicting pigs.)

How nice to swim in the river!
How pleasant it is to swim in the river! (Swimming movements.)
The shore is on the left, the shore is on the right. (Turns left and right.)
River ahead. (Sipping - hands forward.)
Above the bridge - look. (Sipping - hands up.)
To swim even faster,
We need to row faster.
We work with our hands.
Who will follow us? (Swimming movements.)
And now it's time for us, brothers,
To lie on the sand.
We get out of the river (Walking on the spot.)
And we rest on the grass.

Drip-drip
Drip-drip, I am a drop, (Clap your hands.)
I have it in April
In the spring warmth
Droplets have ripened.
Cap-cap on the bench, (Jumping in place.)
For children on toys.
Cap-cap sparrow
Right on top of the head.
(M. Borisova)

Throw, throw, throw
Throw, throw, throw
Let's run together
Through water and fire -
The horse will not overtake us.
One, two - catch up,
Well, try to catch it!
Three, two, one and four -
All five have been studied.
And now we'll have a rest
And we'll start counting again. (Hands forward, up, 5 claps, 5 circular movements with the hand, 5 times squeeze and unclench the fingers.) ,
Maple leaves rustled. (Feet shoulder-width apart, hands behind the head, body tilts to the left and right.)

Antipka the cat
Antipka the cat lived with us. (Stand up, hands on the belt.)
He got up from his bed at one o'clock. (Stretched, arms up - breath.)
At two o'clock in the kitchen he stole sausages (Tilts left and right.)
At three he ate sour cream from a bowl. (Tilts forward, hands on the belt.)
He washed his face at four. (Tilts of the head to the shoulders to the left and right.)
At five, he rolled on the rug. (Turns left and right.)
At six he was dragging herring from the tub. (Jerking hands in front of chest.)
At seven he played hide-and-seek with mice. (Slapping front and back.)
At eight slyly screwed up his eyes. (Squats.)
At nine ate and listened to fairy tales. (clapping hands.)
At ten I went to the couch to sleep, (Jumping in place.)
Because I have to get up at one. (We walk in place.)

Who is playing hide and seek with us?
Whose heels are flashing?
Who is playing hide and seek with us?
Jump and jump, jump and jump - (Jumping.)
Jumped under the bush. (Sit down in a deep squat.)
Who is hiding from us there?
Let's see now. (Children sit in a deep squat.)
This is a nimble frog!
Come out to play, wah! (Children get up, bend over and linger in the bend for a few seconds. )
Look how clear the sky is! (Sipping - hands up.)
How beautiful nature is here! (Sipping - arms to the sides.)
And the frog loves the rain. (Arms crossed over chest, palms on shoulders.)
How can we help her?
It's a clear day today,
Let's take the frog into the shade. (Children sit down.)

Grasshoppers
Raise your shoulders,
Jump, grasshoppers,
Jump-jump, jump-jump.
Sat down, let's eat some grass,
Let's listen to the silence.
Hush, hush, high,
Jump on your toes easily. (You need to push off with one foot and land softly on the other.)
