The Startup Reading Short Vowels Course is the starting point to address the biggest potential stumbling block in learning to read: identifying vowel sounds. This workbook focuses on short vowel sounds in words.
Students will gain the phonological awareness needed to read short vowel words, sentences, and short passages that build fluency and comprehension. The objective is for students to develop their decoding and reading skills, providing a solid foundation in literacy. Each reading skill is introduced and reinforced through a series of fun, interactive activities.
Throughout the Startup Reading Short Vowels Course, students apply the reading strategy to identify the short vowels with an accent mark. Students then combine the letter sounds with the short sound of the vowel to readin the word. Examples of words with short vowel sounds are cat, ten, kit, hop, and cub.
Students continue to use this strategy as they read short stories with decodable and grade-level sight words.
This course provides a video lesson for each page in the workbook. A reading coach session will follow the lesson to verify the student’s skill acquisition and ability to appy the lesson skills to read the exercises.
