One has a short i sound, and one has a long i sound. They need to listen carefully and decode each word. Remind children to pay attention to spelling clues that reveal pronunciation. Say: Remember, words with CVC spelling have a short vowel sound. Words with CVCe spelling have a long vowel sound and a silent e. They should then circle the word in each pair that has the long i sound. Model item 1. Play the audio, decode both words, and read each word aloud, emphasizing the vowel sound. Say: Dim has the short i sound. Dime has the long i sound. Circle dime to indicate that it has a long i sound. Play the audio and have children complete the activity, reading each word aloud. Answers: 1. dime 2. fine 3. slime 4. ripe C • Read and identify words with long vowel sounds Explain that this activity is similar to the previous activity but instead of a pair of words, children will read a complete sentence and find the words with the long i sound. They still need to decode each word, and they still need to pay attention to spelling. Model the example. Play the audio or read the sentence aloud, emphasizing the vowel sound in each word. Say: These shoes are too tight. Tight has a long i sound. Circle tight to indicate that it has the long i sound. Play the audio and have children complete the activity, decoding the words and identifying the ones with the long i sound.
