Long Vowel Patterns for /a/, /e/, /o/

      Hello bloggers!  
   In the eleventh lesson I learned about long vowel patterns for /a/, /e/ and /o/.We must know that a long vowel is a vowel that is pronounced the same as the name of the letter. For example, the "U" is pronounced like "you," not like "a" which would be the sound of a short vowel. Sometimes a long vowel is combined with another vowel. Such is the case of the following words given in Spellingcity.com

   For this lesson, Audio Word Match activity was very important because it is convenient to associate the sounds that takes the vowel in each case. Thus listening skills are developed.

    These are the sounds that can take the long vowels. They are organized according to their frequency of use:

        A                                            E                                        O

        a                                             e                                         o

      a_e                                           ee                                      o_e

        ai                                            ea                                       oa   

       ay                                            -y                                       ow

      eigh                                          e_e                                     ou
