Hi Tamarind
I notice that after learning the five vowels, the next step is to learn blending.
Once a child has sucessfully read and understand all the 3 letter words in A, E, I, O and U, will he be confused when I start to teach him to blend the sound?
What is the difference btw long and short vowels and how do u differentiate them?
Hi sunset_dae,
So long as you make sure that he is familiar with the technique of reading the 3 letter words, he should not be confused when you go on to the next stage. Also make sure that he is able to tell you the letters that make up any 3 letter words. For example, say "mat", and ask him to pick out the correct letters to form the word.
Long vowels are oa, ea, ai, ie, ee, oe, you pronounce them using the letter names of the first letter. Check out the links in this page :
Long Vowels
Short vowels are a, e, i, o, u, you pronounce using the letter sounds.
Vowels
Do you have the Leapfrog Talking Word Factory DVD ? It teaches the long and short vowels.
When teaching a child, don't try to explain what is long and short vowels to him. Just let him practice reading the examples will do.
