What kids do

“Read each sentence. Draw a picture to show what it says.”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. 1. A goat rides a bike in the rain.
  2. 2. A queen eats a peach under a tree.
  3. 3. Three bees fly over a lake.
  4. 4. A snail sleeps on a boat.

Teacher tip

Ask kids to underline the long vowel spelling in each sentence.

How to use it

  • Read the words out loud and listen for the vowel saying its name.
  • Use a vowel team anchor chart while kids work.
  • Keep a set of letter tiles or magnetic letters on the table for building words.

Watch for

Kids who add an e to every word. Ask them to read the word both ways.

Talk about it

  • How do you know this vowel is long?
  • What sound does this letter or letter team make?

Take it further

Make a vowel team poster with words kids find in their reading.
