Reviewing Long A Vowel Digraphs

Hey guys and thank You for joining me again. We Are on lesson five of our long vowel digraphs, and this will be our last lesson. Thank you so much for staying with me and working on these. I bet you've gotten better already, and I'm super proud of you for all your hard work. But let's Continue working on it so we can get even better.

Today, let's review what we have been doing with our long A vowel digraphs. We know that the long A sound can be made in various ways, and this week, we have been focusing on the vowel teams of AI, AY, and EA, which also sometimes make the long A sound.

Writing Practice

Now, let's go ahead and start with some writing practice. Get out your whiteboard, paper, or Pencil, whatever you're using, and let's practice writing these vowel teams. Make sure you say the sound as you write the vowel team.

• AI: A, I
• AY: A, Y
• EA

Thank you so much for doing those with me. Next time, we'll be diving into something completely new. But before that, let's warm up our brains by blending some words together.

Blending Words with Long A Sound

I'll say the sounds, and you put them together to form the word. Let's start.

• Gay: G-A-Y
• Gain: G-A-I-N
• Game: G-A-M-E
• Play: P-L-A-Y

Great job! I think you're warmed up now. Let's do a quick review of the sounds we have learned so far this year.

Word Chaining Exercise

We are now going to do a word chaining exercise. We will take a word and make new words by dropping or changing letters. Let's start with the word "stake."

• Stake
• Stain
• Stay
• Say
• Ray
• Trey
• Train
• Trail
• Raid
• Braid
• Trade
• Aid
• Made
• Mail

That was fantastic! Now, let's see if you can race the teacher in reading some words with long A blends.

Speed Reading Challenge

I will put a word up, and I want to see if you can Read it faster than me. All these words will have the long A blends we have been learning this week.

• Nailed
• Great
• Chain
• Snail
• Play
• Glaze
• Break
• Grade
• Clay
• Stain
• Gray
• Shame
• Away
• Steak

That was the last one! We finished a whole week learning about vowel digraphs with the long A sound. You have worked so hard, and I know you're getting better every day. Thank you for reading with me this week, and we'll see you next time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have covered a lot in this lesson on long A vowel digraphs. We reviewed different vowel teams that make the long A sound, practiced writing them, blended words together, and even challenged ourselves with word chaining and a speed reading challenge. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to our next lesson together.
