Teacher Notes (not visible to pupils)
A long vowel is a vowel that is pronounced the same as its name. For example, the word emu starts with the long E sound. Long vowel sound spelling patterns are quite difficult for students to learn. First they must understand that more than one letter can be used to represent one sound and then learn the various ways that the sound can be represented in print. For example, there are 4 common ways the sound /a/ can be spelled: “a” as in “acorn”, “a_e” as in “gate”, “ai” as in “rain” and “ay” as in “day”. Students must also learn when to use the spelling pattern for each sound.
