Words for the week of March 22.

Posted: March 25, 2010

March 22 words: seen been eat please   We are focusing on the long /e/ sound.  The rule we've been talking a lot about in these past few weeks and applying now is: when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking (and it says it's name).  Here is a fun song that goes along with the rule: http://pbskids.org/lions/videos/twovowels.html On the website there's also a song for the "ee" - our two vowel rule still applies to the "ee", but I'd like them to see the "ee" and KNOW the sound it's going to make without having to go through the two vowels rule.  http://pbskids.org/lions/videos/doublee.html
