What children learn in Level 38
- Vowels make two sounds. You know their short sounds. Their long sounds are easy: a long vowel says its name!
- A says /β Δβ /, like cake. Cat has a short /β aβ /. Cake has a long /β Δβ /.
- I says /β Δ«β /, like kite. O says /β Εβ /, like boat.
- E says /β Δβ /, like bee. U says /β Ε«β /, like cube.
- Try it with a grown-up! Say a word, and ask: is the vowel long or short? Bike: long! Bus: short!
