The Startup Reading Long and Short Vowels Workbook, Book 4, combines and builds on the skills students developed in Books 2 and 3. The ability to differentiate between long and short vowel sounds provides an essential building block for decoding, reading, and comprehension skills.
Each reading skill is introduced and reinforced through a series of fun, interactive activities. Students gain the phonological awareness needed to read long and short vowel words, sentences, and short passages that build fluency and comprehension.
Throughout the workbook, students write long and short vowel accent marks before reading the words to visually identify the vowel sounds. Examples of the long and short vowel sound in words include:
cape/cap, team/ten, kite/kit, hope/hop, and cube/cub.
Students continue to use this strategy as they read short stories with decodable and grade-level sight words. As students cement their understanding and recognition of vowel sounds, it becomes easier to decode unfamiliar words independently. As a result, students increase their confidence as Super Readers!
